About this care
Kindcentrum de Meent KDV is located at Kapelweg 4 in the centre of Leunen and is part of B.V. 't Nest Kinderopvang Venray. We are a small-scale daycare centre with 25 regular places for children aged 0 to 4. Thanks to our deliberately homely design everyone knows each other, creating a familiar environment where your child quickly feels at home.
For the very youngest we offer horizontal groups, so babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers each play and sleep in their own age group. This provides calm, recognisability and activities that exactly match their stage of development. Our pedagogical staff work closely with primary school De Meent to ensure a smooth transition from childcare to school.
Flexibility is very important to us. You decide whether you use 52-week daycare (annual contract) or 40-week daycare (school contract). The sessions are scheduled as follows: Monday to Friday 07:30 – 12:45 (morning), 12:45 – 18:00 (afternoon) or 07:30 – 18:00 (full day). A minimum of two sessions per week is required to guarantee a place. For parents who need to start earlier or pick up later, early care from 7:00 and extended care until 18:30 are possible; indicate this on the registration/change form and we will be happy to discuss the options with you.
We believe it is important that children can explore, play and grow in a fresh, safe environment. That is why we keep the lines of communication with school and parents short and work intensively together. In this way we ensure that your child gets the very best start, every single day.Read more

Violations
- One qualified staff member in the early childhood education group did not hold the required 3F certificate for the components speaking, holding conversations, and listening (only reading had been demonstrated)

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 26 May 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kindcentrum de Meent in Leunen presents a predominantly positive picture with two significant shortcomings. The location provides care for 25 children, divided between a baby group (0-2 years) and a toddler group with early childhood education (0-4 years). The pedagogical practice is assessed as strong: children feel emotionally safe, staff are sensitive and responsive, and the development-focused program is diverse and appropriate. However, a violation was identified in the area of early childhood education: one staff member did not hold the required 3F certificate for oral language proficiency, which also meant the statutory staff-child ratio was not met. Additionally, a recovery offer was issued because staff were insufficiently familiar with the role of the confidential inspector regarding reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations; this shortcoming has since been resolved. The holder enrolled the staff member in question for the missing modules and tightened the onboarding process.
