About this care
Welcome to KDV Hoeve Ruitenbeek, located on our beautiful farm at Arnhemseweg 9 in Leusden. For four generations, over 100 years, the Verweij family has lived and worked on this unique location. We are Gert and Annette Verweij, together with our son Aart and daughter-in-law Arthanja, and we provide small-scale daycare for children from 10 weeks to 4 years old.
Our daycare is housed on a real working farm, creating a special environment for the youngest children. Children can grow up among the dairy cows and get acquainted with farm life on a daily basis. The care is small-scale with a maximum of 32 childcare places, allowing us to give personal attention to each child.
The location offers plenty of space for outdoor activities and nature experiences. Children can play in our garden and learn about animals and nature. The farm environment provides a rich learning environment where children discover through play how nature works and where their food comes from.
KDV Hoeve Ruitenbeek has been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since April 1, 2024, under number 793654622. We meet all national quality requirements for childcare and are under the supervision of the GGD Region Utrecht. Parents can apply for childcare allowance for care with us.
We welcome children from 10 weeks to 4 years in a homely and safe environment, where they can grow up with respect for the nature and animals around them.Read more
