About this care
Welcome to BuitenPeuters, our brand-new daycare centre at Westkanaalweg 120B in Ter Aar. We are part of Kindcentrum De Boomhut and offer small-scale childcare for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4. Being outdoors, exploring and free play in tune with nature are at the heart of everything we do.
Our setting is a former scout building that we transform daily into a warm, adventurous home-from-home. Children tend the vegetable garden, enjoy camp-fires, hunt for mini-beasts and have endless space to move. Inspired by the Pikler approach, we give children time and freedom to discover on their own, nurturing self-confidence, motor skills and social development.
We are a certified Early Childhood Education (VVE) location, providing a playful and meaningful preschool programme that matches young children’s world. Our qualified staff are committed professionals who truly see each child and guide them with trust. Hot meals, restful moments in the fresh air and a rich environment complete the day.
At BuitenPeuters children grow to their fullest, in freedom and connection with nature.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 29 January 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) BuitenPeuters in Ter Aar presents a mixed picture. The location meets the quality requirements in the areas of general conditions, accommodation and parental rights. The pedagogical climate and personnel policy are also generally in order, with strong observations regarding emotional security and stimulation of independence. However, two serious shortcomings were identified that do not comply with the law: early childhood education (a childcare professional lacked the required elective module/course) and the person registry (the director was not linked to the holder). Additionally, two violations were identified regarding safety and health (missing child prevention, hygiene, space usage) and reporting duty, for which a recovery offer was issued. The holder has successfully completed both recovery offers. The GGD advises enforcement.
