About this care
Welcome to Kindercentrum Kruimeltje, our small-scale and independent daycare center located at Noordersingel 1 in Delfzijl. Since January 2021, we have been established at this central location on the edge of the city center, overlooking the dike with ample parking facilities. Our childcare center feels like a big family, where personal attention and a homely atmosphere are central.
We provide care for babies and toddlers from 0 to 4 years in a safe and familiar environment. Our pedagogical professionals are all qualified and hold valid pediatric first aid and emergency response certificates. We work exclusively with permanent staff who have at least MBO level 4, ensuring your child receives the best possible care and guidance.
At Kruimeltje, we believe it's important that children can develop at their own pace. We offer a rich play and learning environment where we daily use natural elements and outdoor life. The Eemsdelta is our playground: we regularly go on discovery trips in nature and make excursions into the surroundings. This way, children learn about the world around them through play.
For the youngest ones, we provide a calm environment where your baby's daily routine is central. We give bottle feeding according to the schedule you're used to at home, and there's plenty of space for naps in our separate sleeping areas. For toddlers, we work with a fixed daily structure where play, learning, and rest alternate. We serve a warm meal around 11:00 AM and offer healthy snacks.
Parents can choose between full and half-day care. We maintain a homely atmosphere where your child will quickly feel at home. Toddler care with VE-indication is also possible. Would you like to meet us without obligation? You're most welcome!Read more

Summary
The annual unannounced inspection of Kindercentrum Kruimeltje in Delfzijl, conducted by GGD Groningen, shows a predominantly positive picture. The location provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 44 places, including early childhood education with the Startblokken program. The pedagogical quality is good: children are encouraged in their independence, there is calm and overview in the groups, and staff respond adequately to incidents. The location also meets requirements regarding staff qualifications, Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), staff-child ratios, and parent information. Two shortcomings were identified that have been resolved through a recovery offer: the early childhood education training plan lacked concrete agreements on knowledge maintenance for staff, and the consent form for care in a second core group did not meet statutory requirements because parents could not specify a particular period. Both points have been resolved and approved. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
