About this care
Welcome to HappyKids Daycare ’t Kasteeltje! We provide care for up to 101 children aged 0 to 4 at our spacious location on Hoofdweg 871a in Hoofddorp, close to the Toolenburg, Nassaupark and Tudorpark districts. Play and development are at the heart of everything we do in a safe and familiar environment.
Our groups are horizontally arranged: baby groups for children up to 14 months, toddler groups from 12 months to 2.5 years and preschool groups from 2 to 4 years. Our outdoor area is also divided by age, so every child can play and explore safely at their own level.
We use the recognised pre-school education programme Uk & Puk, in which play is central; the themes tie in with the world of babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Each week the VE groups receive extra guidance from an HBO-qualified tutor. The Uk & Puk activities focus on four developmental domains: language, social-emotional, motor & sensory and early numeracy. In this playful way we prepare your child for primary school.
In addition to regular day care from 07:30 to 18:30, we also offer pre-school education (VE) from Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 12:30, if your child has an indication from the child health clinic. For more information or a tour, please contact Mandy van der Wal at mvanderwal@happykids.nl or 085-0110070.Read more

Reviews
Onvriendelijke kassiere!
Leeg, duur en te weinig speetjes
Tevreden over BSO, kinderdagverblijf ronduit slecht: hoog personeelsverloop en mijn kleinzoon heeft tot tweemaal toe salmonella opgelopen
