About this care

AI
Welcome to De Veldmuis Daycare in the Veldhuizen district. We are a small-scale, cozy daycare with a spacious play hall and a large garden. Here your child develops playfully in all kinds of areas. This way we make the transition to primary school as smooth as possible. We love to go out with the children and the cart to nice playgrounds. And at De Veldmuis Daycare we are not afraid of a little rain. Boots on, and go! But we can also play wonderfully nearby. In our Natural Outdoor Play garden, the children can really let off steam. We work with two vertical groups, so the younger children are together with the slightly older children in the group. It is wonderful to see how the children learn from each other. We encourage children in their independence and self-reliance with activities that match their world of experience. The children play as much as possible with real-life materials. Because of our small scale, our daycare breathes a homely atmosphere where children, parents and pedagogical staff feel immediately at ease. In addition to the two vertical groups, we also have a special toddler group. The children in this group are almost 4 and ready for new challenges. The pedagogical staff in this group create a special program for them. So we have a circle discussion here every day, we work with new materials (such as a pin pen, scissors or beads) and we use more challenging puzzles and games. By offering more challenge, we prepare the children for primary school. We also encourage the children to make choices in their play and they have their own tasks and responsibilities in the group.

Summary

Kindercentrum De Veldmuis in De Meern, part of gro-up Kinderopvang B.V., was inspected on 28 April 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on behalf of the municipality of Utrecht. The unannounced annual inspection focused on the domains of Staff and groups, Safety and health, and Parental rights. The location, with 72 childcare places (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf and toddler care/peuteropvang), meets all assessed quality requirements under the Childcare Act. Previous inspections in October 2024 and January 2025 each identified one violation; at the latter, a recovery offer was made and implemented for a missing topic in the pedagogical policy. The current inspection found no violations or areas for improvement. The safety and health policy is up-to-date and being followed, although bedroom temperatures remain difficult to regulate. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement measures.
