About this care
Welcome to Het Tuinhuis, the daycare centre located at Mendelweg 22D in the heart of Boskoop. Since 2003 we have offered a warm, safe place where children from 6 weeks to 4 years feel at home. We do not replace home; instead we create a familiar setting in which your child has all the space to grow at his or her own pace.
Our qualified staff first follow the baby’s individual rhythm and then gradually build social skills through play. We use the Early Childhood Education programme “ZaaiGoed”: what you sow is what you harvest. For us, play is life; therefore the emphasis is on discovery in our spacious garden and the surrounding greenery. Individual attention is paramount so that every child feels secure and valued.
Practical care is fully arranged. We provide nappies, bottle feeding, fruit, drinks and a healthy bread meal. You only need to bring spare clothes, a cuddly toy and a sleeping bag. Our flexible childcare matches irregular working hours and we are happy to think along with you about tailor-made solutions.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience for yourself how, together with you, we want to achieve the very best for your child.Read more
