About this care
Welcome to Partou Pienternest! Our daycare centre is located at Pienterpad 4 in Middenmeer, right in the Wieringermeer district. We are housed in a community school together with three primary schools, the library and the after-school care, so everything stays on one familiar site.
We run one toddler group (Wakkere Haantjes) for up to eight children aged 2 to 4. The group is horizontally arranged, so all children share roughly the same developmental stage. We start the day with a play-based drop-off; afterwards there is plenty of room for free play, toddler yoga, music on the lap, or reading books from the library. Our pedagogical staff observe the children closely and enrich play with targeted questions and materials.
Outside we play daily on the large playground with a sandpit, bikes and a playhouse. In bad weather we use the gym for movement activities. The nearby library is used weekly for new picture books that stimulate language development.
Warm, fresh meals and healthy snacks are standard. Special wishes or allergies are discussed with parents and adjusted. Children sleep in a quiet bedroom. Parents follow their child through the Partou parent app: photos, sleep and meal times, and fun anecdotes are shared daily. Each child has a fixed mentor who keeps the development file and discusses it with parents annually.
In short: at Partou Pienternest your child quickly feels at home and takes new steps every day in a safe, familiar environment.Read more

Summary
Het Pienternest is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Middenmeer for 12 children aged 2 to 4 years, part of Smallsteps B.V. (Partou). During the annual inspection on 29 January 2026, the pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff act sensitively, stimulate language development, and guide children in social interactions. Staff and groups also meet all requirements: diplomas, Certificates of Conduct (VOG), IKK language requirement, and deployment of a pedagogical policy staff member are all in order. However, a violation was identified regarding the pedagogical policy plan. Some descriptions were missing or incomplete: hyperlinks were not working, break duration was missing from staff deployment, and a description about extra half-days was not applicable. Following a recovery offer, the location has revised the policy plan and now complies. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
