About this care
Childcare centre de Tuimelaars is part of Monter Kinderopvang and provides day care for children aged 0 to 4 years at Bankastraat 29 in the Indische Buurt neighbourhood of Den Helder. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 18:00. It has a baby-toddler group and a toddler group, with rooms designed to match the children's world and interests.
The centre features a large experience garden with a willow hut, a willow tunnel, a natural sandpit, a slide, a large play area, and a basketball court. For the youngest children there is a fully enclosed baby garden. The garden includes various fruit trees and a vegetable garden where children grow vegetables together with the pedagogical staff.
The location uses a development-oriented approach inspired by 'Startblokken van Basisontwikkeling' and uses the HOREB observation system to monitor each child's development.
The same building also houses preschool playgroup Holderdebolder and after-school care de Schatkist. The location is close to several primary schools and within walking distance of Timorpark.Read more
