About this care
Kinderdagverblijf Dolfijn is a privately-run daycare centre that has provided reliable and loving childcare for children aged 0 to 4 since 1999. Our location at Pastoor de Winterstraat 7 in Mierlo β known as site Toff β offers a warm and secure environment in which every child can develop at his or her own pace. We see ourselves as an extension of the home situation, creating extra opportunities for children to play and learn together.
Our pedagogical approach is built on trust, safety and personal attention. We work with a clear pedagogical policy and uphold the core values of employee happiness, customer happiness, trust, safety and energy. Every child is unique and is given the space to grow in a way that suits them. Through development-focused themed activities we actively support a smooth transition to primary school.
Before the first day of care, we invite parents and their child for a personal intake interview. During this conversation we discuss feeding, health and other practical matters. We then plan a settling-in session together, tailored to the needs of parent and child. This creates calm and confidence from the very first meeting.
We are proud of our informal atmosphere and our team of committed pedagogical staff. With generous opening hours from 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. we offer flexible childcare that fits the rhythm of family life. Parents are warmly welcome to join a tour and experience the atmosphere for themselves.Read more
