About this care
Kiekeboe Kabouterkasteel is our daycare centre located at Hoefbladhof 31 in Houten. We provide care for up to 37 children aged 0 to 4 years. The groups are organised vertically, allowing children of different ages to play and learn together. This way, the youngest can observe the toddlers and preschoolers, while the older children learn to be caring and patient with the babies.
As part of Kiekeboe Kinderopvang, we stand for small-scale, professional childcare. Each group has an iPad on which our pedagogical staff record a daily report. Through the parent portal, parents can see at any time what their child has experienced. This keeps you involved in your child’s development, even during a working day.
Our team consists of qualified and motivated pedagogical staff who care for the children with heart and soul. We work in a homely, familiar environment where every child feels safe and at home. Quality, professionalism and openness are central to us. We believe it is important that parents and children know where they stand and that there is structure and clarity in the daily routine.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of Kiekeboe Kabouterkasteel for yourself.Read more

Shortcomings

Summary
Kiekeboe Kabouterkasteel in Houten provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for up to 37 children aged 0–4. The inspection on 15 January 2025 shows that the location scores well in almost all areas: the pedagogical climate is warm and safe, the policy is clear, and the staff are well qualified. There is one repeatedly recurring point: the residents of the upper floor are not listed in the mandatory staff register, meaning they fall outside the continuous screening process. The municipality of Houten tolerates this situation, and the Municipal Health Service (GGD) therefore refrains from enforcement. There are no direct risks to children.
