About this care
Welcome to Hoeve Buitengewoon, our small-scale children's farm in the heart of Simpelveld. We provide childcare for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location at Wijnstraat 8a is a real farm where children grow up among animals, in nature, and with plenty of space to explore.
Everything revolves around outdoor living and natural development. Children collect eggs from our chickens, feed the rabbits, and learn through play about life on the farm. Our spacious indoor and outdoor areas offer endless opportunities to play, discover, and grow. We work with vertical groups where children of different ages play together and learn from each other.
Our pedagogical staff guide the children with warmth and attention. We believe it's important that every child feels safe and secure, so they can develop optimally. We provide bottle feeding for the youngest, fresh fruit and healthy drinks for all ages, and take allergies into account.
Children sleep in quiet sleeping areas and have access to care products needed for their care. Our secure playground and vegetable garden invite play and discovery. We are open every weekday from 7:15 AM to 6:15 PM, excluding official holidays. Half-day care is possible, allowing us to flexibly respond to parents' needs.Read more
