About this care
KDV De Kleine Prins is located at Nuenenseweg 6 in Eindhoven, within SPILcentrum De Sterren. As part of Stichting ISTIA, we provide small-scale daycare based on anthroposophical principles. We operate two vertical groups for children aged 0 to 4 years, focusing on each child's natural development.
Our location is nestled in greenery, directly opposite the beautiful Eckart forest. This woodland environment serves as our extended playground: we regularly walk there, explore the seasons, and use the school vegetable garden for gardening activities with the children. Indoors, we create a homely atmosphere with natural materials, wooden toys and soft fabrics. The baby corner is separately screened with a protective fabric canopy, where rest and security are paramount.
The daily rhythm follows a fixed structure of singing, playing, eating and resting. We celebrate seasonal festivals with appropriate songs, games and activities. Children participate in bread baking, painting and crafts. Our organic meals and snacks contribute to healthy development. The toddler groups (2 years 3 months to 4 years) operate in two core groups: Monday/Thursday and Tuesday/Friday, with optional Wednesday mornings from age 3.
We believe children develop best in a safe, secure environment with consistent rhythms and personal attention. Our pedagogical staff are specially trained in the anthroposophical approach and provide each child space to become who they are. Feel welcome to visit and experience our unique atmosphere!Read more

Summary
KDV De Kleine Prins in Eindhoven, an anthroposophical daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 64 places, was subject to an annual inspection by GGD Brabant-Zuidoost on 12 May 2026. The inspection comprised document review, site visit, and interviews with childcare professionals. All assessed quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate and staff and groups meet the statutory standards. The location provides early childhood education with its own preschool program (Taallijn) and collaborates with Vrije School Brabant in SPILcentrum 'De Sterren'. There are four core groups for children aged 0-4 years. The previous annual inspection in June 2025 resulted in a recovery offer for safety and health, which has since been resolved. The operator has not submitted a statement of opinion on the report.
