About this care
Welcome to BijdeHandjes Toddler Care Scherpenzeel, located in the characteristic church De Achthoek on Molenweg 1. We provide a safe, Christian environment where toddlers aged 2 to 4 can explore the world through play. Our group follows the Dutch Early Childhood Education programme Piramide: each morning begins with a welcome song in the circle, followed by an activity linked to the current theme. After a fruit and drink break, children can enjoy free play, crafts or outdoor fun in our garden. The rooms are furnished like a home, with inviting corners that stimulate imagination. Our qualified staff offer genuine attention so every child feels loved and secure. Warm lunches, fruit and drinks are included and we accommodate allergies whenever possible. Parents are welcome to visit and experience our warm atmosphere at any time.Read more
