About this care
Welcome to RIANT Galjoen, our daycare centre located in the Galjoen neighbourhood of Lelystad. Together with primary school De Toermalijn we form one Integrated Child Centre (IKC). This means your child can grow, play and learn in one familiar place from 0 to 4 years old. Our two cosy rooms are specially designed for the very youngest: a quiet baby group for children aged 0-2 and a challenging toddler group for children aged 2-4. This way, every child receives exactly the attention and stimuli that match their age and development.
We work with horizontal groups, allowing us to offer activities that perfectly connect with your child's world of experience. In the baby group the focus is on sensory experiences, motor development and lots of cuddles. The toddler group prepares your child for primary school through play: we practise independence, make first friends and discover new talents through thematic work. Our regular pedagogical staff follow your child's rhythm: whether it's time for a bottle, a fruit snack or a nap, we are there.
Outside we have a safe, green playground where children can romp, build sandcastles and discover nature. Inside we have a separate sleeping room where your child can rest in a darkened environment. All our staff are qualified and ready every day with genuine attention. We believe it's important that you as a parent have a warm and trusting feeling when you bring your child to us. That's why we work closely with you and keep you informed of your child's development through personal conversations.Read more

Summary
GGD Flevoland conducted an unannounced inspection of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) RIANT Galjoen in Lelystad on 13 August 2025. The KDV accommodates 32 children in two core groups (0-2 and 2-4 years) and operates according to a clear pedagogical policy. The atmosphere is calm, staff are friendly and child-centered, and all safety and training requirements have been met. There were two violations: mentors did not structurally invite parents for the annual 10-minute conversation, thereby providing insufficient stability. Both shortcomings have since been resolved through a written recovery offer; a plan with annual schedule 2025-2026 has been submitted and approved. The accommodation comfortably exceeds space and play area requirements. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
