About this care
Kinderdagverblijf Eigenwijze is part of Kindcentrum Eigenwijze in Heemskerk. We provide care in three vertical groups for children aged 0 to 4 years, each with a maximum of 16 children. Our pedagogical staff use the pre-school education programme Uk & Puk, in which the hand-puppet Puk plays a central role in stimulating language development. We create a safe, homely environment where every child is given space to explore and grow at their own pace. The location is bright and spacious, featuring a brand-new outdoor playground that invites outdoor play and natural experiences. Our daycare is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. For questions you can contact our assistant manager Shirley van Lieshout or manager Mineke van de Leijgraaf.Read more
Practical info
Sick child policy
When a child is feeling unwell, they need extra care and attention. We are not always able to provide this level of attention at the childcare facility. For the wellbeing of the sick child, the other children, and our staff, we do not care for sick children, as we want to maintain the healthiest possible environment. If your child becomes ill while with us, we will contact you as soon as possible and may ask you to pick them up.

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection at peuteropvang POV Eigenwijze in Heemskerk on 25 September 2025. The location provides early childhood education to 16 children aged 2-4 years in one fixed group. All quality requirements examined were assessed as met, with the exception of the language requirement for early childhood education: one staff member did not possess the required language level 3F and was therefore temporarily not deployed to early childhood education groups. The organisation was given a recovery offer, acted on it immediately, and enrolled the staff member concerned to obtain the correct certificates; the shortcoming has thereby been resolved. Furthermore, the pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, safety and health policy, accommodation, and staff numbers and qualifications are all in order. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
