About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Het Papaverhuisje, a small-scale daycare center in the Westenholte district of Zwolle. We offer care for children aged 0 to 4 years in one vertical group of up to 15 children. Our location at Papaverweg 67 provides a homely atmosphere with a living room, play/dining room, sleeping room, atelier, and a nature playground.
Our pedagogy is inspired by Reggio Emilia. We see children as capable, curious and creative. Our vision focuses on respect for each child, stimulating independence, creativity and imagination, being close to nature, and sustainable entrepreneurship. Our permanent pedagogical staff are qualified and we are a recognized training company.
Sustainability is central to our approach. We provide organic food, use environmentally friendly Bambo diapers and natural (craft) materials. Our energy supplier is Greenchoice and we separate our waste. The nature playground with vegetable garden offers children plenty of opportunities to learn through play and gain sensory experiences.
Het Papaverhuisje is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 to 18:00, all year round. We require a minimum of 2 care days per week. You can request a free tour via info@kdvhetpapaverhuisje.nl. Het Papaverhuisje is part of Kinderdagverblijf Het Frankhuisje.Read more

Summary
The annual unannounced inspection on 10 July 2026 at Het Papaverhuisje Zwolle, a private daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 15 childcare places in the Westenholte neighbourhood, shows that the location meets all assessed quality requirements. The pedagogical practice is strong: staff work sensitively and responsively, provide structure, and stimulate children's development. Staffing levels comply with the legal ratio and all staff members hold a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The safety and health policy is up-to-date, including a reporting protocol for domestic violence and child abuse. One point of attention is that the heat protocol could be made more location-specific; this will be discussed at the upcoming team meeting. No violations were identified.
