About this care
Welcome to Partou Daycare Merwedestraat 2 in the Oudorp district of Alkmaar. Since December 1, 2024, we operate under the name Partou childcare, previously known as De Kinderkamer. Our daycare provides care for up to 86 children aged 0 to 4 years. We believe children develop best in a familiar, homely environment. That's why our qualified pedagogical staff work with fixed groups, so each child sees the same faces and quickly feels at home.
Everything at our center revolves around discovery and play. In our cozy group spaces you'll find fun discovery corners where children can craft, paint, puzzle and play games. For the littlest ones we have a separate baby area where they can play and discover at their own pace in peace and quiet. Our reading corner full of lovely books is a great place to relax or read a story together.
Outside we have a large playground where children can run, ride scooters and build castles in the sandbox to their heart's content. We water the plants and discover together how a new leaf grows. This way children learn about the nature around them through play.
We work with early childhood education (VE) to give children a good foundation early on for their further development. Every milestone and every smile can be followed through our own app, so you as a parent stay involved in your child's development. We serve fresh and healthy meals daily and ensure that every child feels at home with us, makes friends and can develop at their own pace.Read more
