About this care
Welcome to Zien Childcare Het Helpernest, a small-scale daycare centre that has been the trusted place for childcare in Helpman, Groningen for 28 years. Located at Verlengde Hereweg 107, our centre offers a warm, homely atmosphere where children aged 0 to 4 feel at home right away. We provide care in three cosy group rooms: Baby Group Spetters (0-2 years), Mixed-age Group de Hummels (0-2.5 years) and Toddler Group Kanjers (2-4 years). Each group is run by a fixed team of experienced pedagogical staff, including colleagues who have been with us for 25 years, ensuring your child sees familiar faces every day.
Our educational approach is inspired by Reggio Emilia and Emmi Pikler. We believe every child is born with ‘100 languages’ – music, dance, art, food, light and dark, nature and science – and all these languages deserve to be explored. Our richly equipped ateliers and extra outdoor classroom invite children to experiment and create, while our beautiful outdoor playground offers daily opportunities for natural play and discovery.
We are open 51 weeks a year from 7:00 to 18:30 and offer flexible care. Warm meals, fruit and healthy snacks are included, and we accommodate allergies and dietary needs. For the youngest ones we provide bottle feeding, quiet moments and familiar sleep routines in separate sleeping areas. Parents are actively involved through our parent committee.
At Het Helpernest we believe it is important that both children and parents feel seen. Our location manager Manouk and her team are always ready for a personal conversation. Curious? We would love to invite you for a tour and introduction!Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: November 27, 2025
Strengths
- The shortcoming regarding 'fixed faces' (more than 3 staff members per child) has been fully resolved
- The location responded adequately by submitting missing forms within 30 minutes of notification
- Consent forms are generally correctly prepared with fixed periods and agreed days
Violations
- For one child, written consent was missing for care on Thursday 13 November in core group Kanjers; the parents had only given consent for care on Friday in this group, while the fixed core group was Hummels
Summary
The GGD inspection report of 27 November 2025 concerns a follow-up investigation into Kinderopvang Zien Het Helpernest B.V. in Groningen, a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 22 places and 3 core groups. The investigation focused on previously identified shortcomings in stability of care. The location has been owned by Kinderopvang Zien since February 2024. The inspection showed that most shortcomings have been resolved, but one violation remains: for one child, written consent was missing for a change in care in a second core group. The GGD advises enforcement.
