About this care
Welcome to HOPPAS Woudrichem, our child-rich centre at Baljuw 1 in the heart of Woudrichem. We provide daycare for children aged 0 to 4 in a spacious, bright building with a large garden and dedicated learning and play areas. The baby group (0-1.5 yrs) has its own wing with four cosy bedrooms and a private outdoor area; babies can even nap outside in special cribs, which is great for their airways. The toddler group (1.5-2.5 yrs) shares a wing with the preschool group and has its own outdoor space plus access to the big front yard. Our preschool group (2-4 yrs) operates on the ground floor and, in the mornings, also upstairs, where you will find a teaching kitchen, movement room and extra Early Childhood Education space. Preschoolers enjoy an active programme every morning and can rest or nap after lunch. We collaborate closely with Library Altena, Woudrichem Music School, Aqua Altena (swimming lessons) and Beweeg Bureau for dance and sports activities. Our centre is open from 7.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.; early drop-off from 6.45 a.m. is possible. Quality and a homely atmosphere are central; our GGD-approved centre gives every child a safe, challenging and unforgettable day.Read more

Summary
The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection on 6 January 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) HOPPAS Woudrichem shows predominantly positive results. The location provides care for up to 64 children (0-4 years) in five groups and delivers early childhood education (ECE). The location meets legal requirements in all areas, with the exception of safety and health policy. One violation was identified: a staff member did not clean the changing mat according to protocol (using alcohol wipes instead of all-purpose cleaner). The provider made use of the recovery offer and drew up an action plan that sufficiently works toward sustainable recovery. The pedagogical practice is regarded as a strong point, with sensitive-responsive staff and good child wellbeing. The GGD advises against enforcement due to the recovered nature of the violation.
Reviews
Op de opvanglocaties werken écht stuk voor stuk topmensen. Het kantoor daarentegen is echt een drama om mee samen te werken.
Mijn 3 kinderen hebben het hier ontzettend naar hun zin gehad. Fijne leidsters met persoonlijke aandacht. De buitenruimte is een combinatie van groen,...
