About this care
Welcome to De Dikkedeur Heemraadssingel, our daycare centre located in the monumental building at Heemraadssingel 99 in Rotterdam. Since 2001 we have been providing care in this beautiful, bright and spacious building that once served as a children's home. We work in horizontal age groups: baby-toddler groups from 2-24 months and toddler groups from 24-48 months. Children can play in our large, park-like outdoor playground, on the special baby terrace or during outings to Blijdorp Zoo and along the Heemraadssingel. Extra play fun is experienced in our sand table room and trampoline room.Read more
