About this care
Happy Kids Almere is a small-scale daycare center located at Antilopestraat 16 in Almere-Buiten. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 6 weeks to 4 years. Our daycare is part of Happy Kids Almere B.V., an organization operating multiple locations in Almere.
At Happy Kids Almere, everything revolves around creating a homely and safe environment where children can develop at their own pace. Our childcare professionals create a warm, challenging atmosphere within the groups. We work with a clear daily schedule to provide structure, using daily rhythm cards based on the Uk and Puk method. This visual support helps children understand how their day will unfold.
For the youngest children, we tailor the daily rhythm to their individual needs and follow the home schedule as much as possible. As children grow older, we gradually let them join the fixed daily routine of Happy Kids Almere. This ensures a smooth transition and familiarity.
Our location at Antilopestraat 16 is officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 336868923. We offer professional childcare with each child's development at the center, in a familiar and small-scale setting.Read more

Summary
Happy Kids Almere (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV) at Antilopestraat 16 in Almere was inspected unannounced on 20 May 2025. The daycare center provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 2-4 years in one core group. The inspection concludes that the location does not meet all statutory requirements due to a shortage of registered coaching hours in 2024 and missing distribution of policy and coaching hours per location. The pedagogical practice itself scores adequately: the atmosphere is relaxed, the pedagogical staff communicate calmly and sensitively, children feel safe, and there is sufficient material to play with. All staff are correctly registered and hold the appropriate qualifications. The municipality is advised to enforce compliance. The organization has submitted an improvement plan introducing monthly checks and written registration per location.
