About this care
Welcome to Partou de Polbeek! Our daycare is located on the ground floor of the modern residential care center De Polbeek at Van Dorenborchstraat 1a in Zutphen. Here, your child will quickly feel at home in the warm, homely atmosphere we provide.
We care for children from 0 to 4 years old and work with vertical groups, allowing siblings to grow up together. Babies can explore and roll around in our spacious playpen, while toddlers enjoy painting, reading books with peers, and taking part in activities specifically designed to stimulate language development.
Our recently renovated outdoor space is a true paradise for children. With a sandbox, slide, hiding spots, and plenty of greenery, there's ample room to run, play, and discover. Even the youngest have their own baby area where they can safely enjoy the outdoors.
We follow a clear pedagogical policy in which every child feels safe and seen. Our pedagogical professionals guide children playfully in their development. In addition, we offer a preschool education program to ensure a smooth transition to primary school.
Parents stay informed of all milestones and fun moments through our own app, giving you a glimpse into your child's day and the reassurance that all is well.
We are open Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. Parking is available with plenty of spaces. Feel free to drop by for a tour or register your child without obligation!Read more

Summary
Kinderdagverblijf De Polbeek, operated by Smallsteps (part of Partou) in Zutphen, received an unannounced inspection by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Noord- en Oost-Gelderland on 3 March 2026. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) provides care for 45 children across three groups: the baby group De Eendjes (ages 0–2.5), the vertical group De Visjes (ages 0–4), and the toddler group De Kikkertjes (ages 2–4) with pre-school education. All assessed statutory quality requirements are being met. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff work sensitively and responsively, there is a fixed daily routine with clear rituals, and the children demonstrate good wellbeing. The pre-school education uses the recognised Uk and Puk method. Staff hold appropriate qualifications, have valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) checks, and the pedagogical policy record (PRK) is in order. Safety, health and parental rights also meet the requirements. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
