About this care
Fantaziehuis Werkspoor is a creative discovery place for children aged 0 to 4 years, located in the inspiring Werkspoor district of Utrecht. We provide extraordinary childcare where child development is central. In a warm, homely environment, we challenge children to discover themselves and the world around them.
Our location at Vlampijpstraat 78 accommodates 58 children across four groups: two baby groups and two toddler groups. Children can enjoy playing in our large garden and we actively involve them in daily activities. We craft with various shapes, materials and objects, and offer activities such as toddler gym, jazz dance, yoga, theater and our daily music quarter where we literally start the day with a dance!
Our pedagogical staff take time for each child and every parent. We start the day together with fruit and drinks, after which we engage in fun activities that align with the child's development. We work with themes and respond to current events. Babies follow their own daily rhythm that we coordinate with parents. After lunch, there's time to sleep, after which we continue playing with renewed energy until mom or dad arrives.
At Fantaziehuis Werkspoor, we believe in the power of creativity and self-discovery. We provide a safe environment where children can be themselves and where there's room for their own ideas. Our close-knit team of experienced and less experienced pedagogical staff work with great enthusiasm every day to create a wonderful discovery place for all children.Read more
