About this care
Peutergroep Duimelotje is located at Laan van Rapijnen 28 in Linschoten and is part of Kind & Co Ludens, the largest social childcare organization in the Netherlands. We are a VE-certified toddler care facility for children aged 2 to 4 years. Our location accommodates up to 16 children and operates with horizontal groups, organizing children by age.
We use the Uk & Puk method. Around a theme, we offer various activities both individually and in groups. There are activities in large and small circles, both creative and play-based. Additionally, we sing and dance regularly. Our spacious, bright, and cozy group room provides ample space for development. Children can enjoy a beautiful outdoor area with plenty of space for cycling, a playhouse, and a large sandbox.
As a VE-certified location, we provide support in various areas of child development alongside play. We focus on speech and language, social-emotional development, motor and sensory development, and early numeracy. Our activities are designed to prepare children for primary school. We aim to make every child feel at home in an atmosphere of warmth and personal attention.Read more

Summary
Peutergroep Duimelotje in Linschoten is a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with a maximum of 16 places for children aged 2-4, part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 11 April 2025. All investigated quality aspects – pedagogical climate, staff/groups, safety & health and parental rights – meet statutory requirements. The location provides pre-school education according to the recognised Uk & Puk programme, works in a development-focused manner, offers a rich and thematically designed space, and achieves a smooth transition to primary education. Staff are qualified, hold Early Education certificates, 3F language proficiency and first aid diplomas; all employees are correctly registered and hold a Certificate of Conduct (VOG). Safety and health policy, first aid provisions and the domestic violence reporting protocol are in order. Parents are actively informed via website, newsletters and parent portal; there is no parent committee due to the small size, but parents are involved in policy changes through alternative consultation. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The GGD advises the municipality of Montfoort not to take enforcement measures.
