About this care
Welcome to daycare center Het Coendersnest, located at Van Houtenlaan 33 in the southeast of Groningen. Since 2000, we have been providing childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely and safe environment. Our daycare center was established following the successful experiences of daycare center Het Helpernest, after which the demand for our childcare approach became so great that a second location was opened.
Our building features two group spaces: a baby group and a toddler group. The toddler group has a separate dining room that can also serve as an additional play area. We have two cozy sleeping areas where children can rest peacefully. Toddlers have their own changing room and toddler toilet available. The spacious kitchen provides ample room for preparing meals and bottle feeding, while we maintain strict hygiene rules such as washing hands before preparing bottle feeding and regularly sterilizing bottles and pacifiers.
Outside, we have our own outdoor play area that we use frequently. Additionally, we utilize the municipal play area located directly in front of our daycare center. A special service we offer our youngest guests: babies can, with parental permission, sleep outdoors in a so-called 'lutje potje', an old Groningen baby house.
We are inspected annually by the GGD Groningen and you receive a transparent inspection report. All our policies are documented and available for parents to review. We warmly invite you to come take a look and get acquainted with our way of working.Read more
GGD Inspection

Violations
- A staff member was deployed to the group without a valid IKK language certificate. The missing component 'listening' had not been achieved, meaning the full language requirement had not been met.
Summary
Het Coendersnest is a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Groningen with 19 places, divided between a baby and toddler group. During an unannounced follow-up inspection on 24 April 2026, one violation was identified: a staff member was working in the group without a valid IKK language certificate. The employee did have a test for speaking and conducting conversations, but lacked the required listening component. This staff member had been deployed on multiple days in the weeks prior to the inspection. On 24 April 2026, the employee took a language test, and from 13 May 2026 she meets the requirement. The violation has thereby been resolved, but did occur. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.

Ik heb vroeger op het Coendersnest gezeten. Leuke, maar ook vervelende ervaringen. Ik liet een keer een beker met limonade vallen. Toen zei de leidste...
