About this care
Welcome to Twinkel Gouda Peuteropvang Schateiland, located at Mercatorhof 7 in the Bloemendaal/Plaswijck district of Gouda. We provide small-scale toddler care for children aged 2.5 to 4 years. In a safe and homely setting we welcome a maximum of 16 children each morning, ensuring every child receives the attention they deserve.
Our toddler care is officially recognised for Early Childhood Education (VVE). Our team consists of VVE-trained pedagogical professionals who use the development-oriented ‘Uk & Puk’ programme. Play and development are central: children learn by doing. Together we set the table, finish a rhyme, count blocks and expand vocabulary while crafting or reading a story. In this playful way we work on language, numeracy and social skills.
Toddler mornings run Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. During the morning the children receive a healthy snack and a drink. You decide how many mornings your child attends; flexible care at its best. Our room is arranged with different corners: a construction corner, a home corner, a reading corner and a creative table. We operate in a horizontal group, so all children are of a similar age and can stimulate one another.
During school holidays of primary school Het Schateiland our toddler care is closed. For registration or more information please contact us on (0182) 53 19 48 or visit www.twinkel-gouda.nl. We look forward to welcoming you and your toddler for an introductory visit!Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 28 May 2026 for Twinkel Gouda Peuteropvang Schateiland, a toddler daycare (peuteropvang) for a maximum of 16 children (ages 2–4) in Gouda, shows predominantly positive findings. The location meets the quality requirements in most areas. There were two shortcomings in the area of early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VVE): the pedagogical policy plan insufficiently described the connection between early and primary school education, and the deployment of the VVE coach. Following a recovery offer, the holder submitted an amended plan that does meet requirements. The GGD advises the municipality of Gouda to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
