About this care

Welcome to Hobbithoeve, a warm and small-scale daycare centre in the heart of Driemond in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Since 1 July 2024, we have been part of Hestia Kinderopvang, continuing the excellent care that has existed for twenty years under a new umbrella. Our location at Burgemeester Kasteleinstraat 6 accommodates 42 children, divided into three horizontal groups: one baby group and two toddler groups. We believe in calm, routine and small-scale care. Each group has two permanent staff members who provide a familiar and secure base. For the youngest children, we provide nappies and bottle feeding, allowing parents to work worry-free. Our outdoor play area invites children to play and explore in nature. We are open all year round from 7.30 am to 6.30 pm, except on official public holidays and the period between Christmas and New Year.

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that all statutory quality requirements are met: the pedagogical climate is good, the team is skilled, and safety is assured. Key strengths include sensitive guidance, clear rituals, thematic activities (e.g., dinosaurs), multilingual care with clear agreements, and stable core groups with familiar faces. There were no violations. One improvement point was identified: extinguished candles were temporarily stored unsafely; this was immediately discussed with the location manager. No recovery offer needed. The municipality is advised to take note of the report only.
