About this care
Kindcentrum De Kastanjelaar is located at Elsenstraat 3, right in the heart of Milheeze. From the schoolyard you look out on the majestic chestnut tree that inspired our name. As soon as you step inside, you feel the welcoming atmosphere that defines us: a safe place where children aged 0 to 4 can learn, develop, play and discover.
We provide childcare and education under one roof. For the very youngest we run a day-care centre (KDV). Our pedagogical staff work with love and expertise on the broad development of every child. We focus on well-being, safety and involvement; every child belongs and is heard. Through play we stimulate self-confidence and social connection, allowing children to grow and flourish at their own pace.
Our setting is small-scale and clearly arranged, perfectly suited to a village environment. We have our own outdoor playground where children can enjoy fresh air and explore nature every day. For the youngest ones there are separate sleeping areas and a quiet baby corner, ensuring every child gets the rest they need.
In short, at Kindcentrum De Kastanjelaar you will find a warm nest where your child feels safe and at home.Read more

Summary
Kindcentrum De Kastanjelaar in Milheeze, part of GOO Opvang en Onderwijs, was inspected on 25 February 2026 by GGD Brabant-Zuidoost. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) provides care for 32 children in two core groups: a toddler group and a vertical group for ages 0-4. Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) is also offered through the Uk & Puk method. The annual inspection shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets the quality requirements for staff, groups and parental rights. The pedagogical climate is good: there is a relaxed atmosphere, children are encouraged in their self-reliance and the pedagogical practice meets the basic objectives. However, a violation was identified regarding early childhood education: the pedagogical policy plan contained insufficient concrete description of the 960-hour offer. Following a recovery offer (herstelaanbod), this has been remedied and the location now meets all requirements. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
