About this care
Welcome to Hero Peuteropvang Eemstraat 15, located in a charming former school building in the heart of Haarlem. We provide care for up to 16 toddlers aged 2 to 4 years in a safe, small-scale environment. Authentic details like the granite countertop with curtains create a warm, homely atmosphere. The interior is fully tailored to toddlers: cheerful colors, wooden toys, and a glass partition that opens to give children freedom of movement between the playroom and hallway.
Our outdoor play area is shared with Sint-Bavo School. The spacious yard offers plenty of room for cycling, running, and climbing. In bad weather, we use the school gym so children always have enough space to move. We follow Hero Kindercentra’s core values: Adventure, Fun, Learning, and Attention. Our pedagogical staff give each child space to develop at their own pace, with a strong focus on language, creative expression, and social skills.
Peuteropvang Eemstraat 15 has been officially registered since January 3, 2017 under number 335007764 and is part of Stichting Hero Kindercentra Peuteropvang. We offer early childhood education (VVE) and use horizontal grouping, where children are placed in age-specific groups. Half-day care is available, tailored to the needs of parents and children.Read more

Summary
Hero Peuteropvang Eemstraat 15 is a preschool playgroup (peuterspeelzaal) in Haarlem with 16 places for children aged 2-4 years, located within basisschool Sint Bavo primary school. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 19 September 2025 concludes that the location meets all assessed quality requirements. The pedagogical climate is good: the policy is worked out in concrete detail, practice aligns with this and provides children with emotional safety, developmental challenge and language enrichment. Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) is set up according to plan with themes via Uk & Puk, sufficient hours on offer, qualified staff (all at 3F language level), correct staff-to-child ratio (1:8), and deployment of a pedagogical policy worker for VE. All staff hold valid Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG's) and appropriate diplomas; coaching takes place annually. There is not yet a parent committee, but due to its small size the holder may apply alternative parent consultation; recruitment efforts are ongoing. No violations or recovery offers. Advice to the municipality: no enforcement needed.
