About this care
Welcome to Daycare Berend Botje Hoorn-Huesmolen, located at De Huesmolen 222 in Hoorn. As part of the trusted Berend Botje organization, we provide childcare for up to 75 children aged 0 to 4 years at this location. Our daycare has been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since May 16, 2010 under number 180292109.
At Berend Botje, we believe that children thrive best in a safe, familiar environment where they can be completely themselves. Our pedagogical staff create a warm home base where each child has the space to grow, play and discover. We work with horizontal groups, where babies, toddlers and preschoolers are cared for in age groups. This allows us to perfectly tailor care and activities to your child's developmental stage.
Our activity program is specially developed for the youngest children and includes music and dance, creative activities such as crafts, and plenty of outdoor play. We pay great attention to language development and read to the children daily. The outdoor garden offers plenty of opportunities for natural discovery tours and movement in the fresh air.
For the very youngest, we take care of everything: from diapers and wipes to bottle feeding and warm meals. Our experienced staff support in establishing a good sleep routine and offer quiet sleeping areas where your child can rest safely. We take allergies and special dietary requirements into account and work closely with parents to optimally tailor care to each child's needs.
Our location is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with both full and half days available. We provide preschool education (VVE), which playfully prepares your child for elementary school. At Berend Botje Hoorn-Huesmolen, we grow, play and discover together - every day again.Read more

Fijne omgeving en super medewerkers alleen de wachtlijsten jammer. Lijkt alsof er wachtlijst is niet zo.
