About this care
De Tovertuin is a small-scale, homely and natural daycare centre located at Oude Baan 88 in Dongen. We welcome children from 0 to 4 years in a warm, familiar environment with consistent staff. We use natural materials as much as possible to encourage children to play, learn and discover.
It feels like home: we eat together at the table with young and old, regularly bake rolls, a tasty soup or pancakes in our kitchen, and snuggling under a blanket on the couch is also part of the experience. Outside, children can get wonderfully dirty, explore the world around them or have a picnic.
Nature and sustainability are central. We believe it is important for children to play outside a lot and learn how wonderful and valuable nature is. We use natural materials and pay attention to healthy nutrition. Every child is allowed to keep their own identity and is given the space to be themselves.
Our daycare has 12 places and has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 3 July 2015 under number 143709124. We can be reached by phone for general questions on 06-42786926 and for specific questions about babies on 06-10828687.Read more
