About this care
Welcome to De Kaboutertuin, Kindernet’s daycare centre located at Vordenseweg 12 in Warnsveld. Set on the green grounds of GGNet and surrounded by meadows and an orchard, our location feels almost like the countryside – peaceful, spacious and full of nature. We provide care for children from 0 to 4 years old in three dedicated groups: a cosy baby lounge for up to six infants (0-1 yrs), a toddler group and a pre-school group (2-4 yrs). Each group has its own space so every child receives the calm and attention they deserve.
What truly sets De Kaboutertuin apart is our large, natural outdoor area. Children can dig in the sandpit, build dens from willow branches, grow vegetables in our garden or simply enjoy a game of football. For the youngest ones we offer outdoor cribs, allowing babies to nap safely in the fresh air. Research shows that children sleep longer and deeper outside – something we wholeheartedly support.
Our close-knit team of passionate, qualified pedagogical professionals is here for you and your child every day. We keep group sizes small and know every family personally. Flexible childcare is available, making us an ideal choice for parents living in the Leesten district or working at GGNet. We would love to show you around so you can experience the warm atmosphere of De Kaboutertuin yourself. Please feel free to make an appointment – we look forward to meeting you.Read more

Summary
GGD Noord- en Oost-Gelderland conducted an unannounced follow-up investigation on 23 June 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Kaboutertuin in Warnsveld, commissioned by the municipality of Zutphen. This investigation focused on the previously identified shortcomings of 18 February 2026, after which the provider had received an order for periodic penalty payments with a recovery deadline of 1 June 2026. The inspection assessed the pedagogical policy, the staff-child ratio, and the stability of care. The provider has demonstrably implemented recovery measures: operations are now in accordance with the pedagogical policy plan, the statutory staff-child ratio is being observed, children are no longer being transferred to other groups, and the familiar faces criterion is being met through the appointment of new permanent staff members. The previously established violations have thereby been resolved. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
Reviews
Onze zoon gaat met veel plezier naar de kindjes! Erg meedenkend leidsters tien hij het even wat minder leuk vond. Ondernemen veel met de kinderen ook ...
Fijne flexibele kinderopvang waar veel aandacht is voor het kind.
