About this care
Welcome to In het Hart van het Hout Child Centre, located at Slegersstraat 2A in the friendly Mierlo-Hout district of Helmond. We are an integrated child centre combining education and childcare. Our day-care section, operated by Korein Childcare, provides care for children aged 0 to 4. We believe every child’s development starts in the ‘heart’, the safe core of our centre. From there each child grows in their own unique way, just like the annual rings of a tree. Every day our enthusiastic professionals create an environment where children can discover, meet and develop. Our spacious outdoor area invites children to play and learn in nature. Parents and professionals work closely together, because only together can we put the child first and offer the best foundation for the future.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection conducted on 15 January 2026 at childcare centre 'In het Hart van het Hout' in Helmond presents a predominantly positive picture. The location, part of Wij zijn JONG (formerly Korein), provides toddler care and after-school care (BSO) in an Integrated Child Centre (IKC) together with St. Odulfus primary school. The pedagogical climate and staffing largely comply with legislation and regulations. Two violations were identified for which a recovery offer was issued: the absence of concrete descriptions for numeracy, motor skills, and social-emotional development in the pedagogical policy, and an outreach supervisor who was not linked in the personnel register. Both violations were resolved within the recovery period. The location uses the 'Uk en Puk' programme for preschool education and meets all personnel qualification requirements.
