About this care
At De Melkfabriek daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), attention and a sense of security are at the heart of everything we do. We offer a warm, nurturing environment where every unique child can develop through play. Our locations are small-scale, with toddler groups and baby-toddler groups, allowing us to give personal attention to each child.
Our opening hours are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. We are closed on specific public holidays so that our staff can also spend time with their families. We believe in the power of organic food and care products, and make sure our children receive healthy meals.
With us, children can enjoy a wide range of activities, including music, introduction to the English language, a vegetable garden programme and children's yoga. We create a low-stimulus, warm atmosphere so that children feel safe and secure. In addition, we offer after-school care (BSO) for older children. We invite interested parents to register their (expected) child/children and grow together with us during this special phase of their lives.Read more
