About this care
Welcome to Kinddomein De Zeppelin, located at Henriëtte Henriquez Pimenteltuin 13 in the heart of Heerhugowaard. As part of Stichting Blosse, we provide integrated care and education for children aged 0 to 4, ensuring a seamless journey from daycare to preschool. Our core values—safe, respectful, connected, quality, involved, and responsible—guide everything we do, creating a nurturing environment where children feel secure and valued.
We operate mixed-age groups (vertical grouping), allowing children of different ages to play and learn together. This approach fosters social skills and enables younger children to learn from older peers. Our qualified staff carefully guide this process, tailoring attention and challenges to each child’s developmental stage. We offer both daycare and toddler care, with smooth transitions that help children confidently take their next developmental step.
Our facility features a spacious, secure outdoor playground where children can explore, play, and engage with natural materials. Outdoor sleeping is part of our routine, with special outdoor sleeping wagons ensuring safe naps in fresh air. Indoors, we have dedicated areas for building, reading, and arts & crafts, encouraging creativity and exploration.
We implement a VVE (Early Childhood Education) program focused on language development and social skills. Activities are tailored to young children’s interests, sparking curiosity through music, storytelling, outdoor play, and local outings. Parents are actively involved in their child’s development, with open communication and collaboration at the heart of our approach.
Care is paramount. We provide diapers and wipes, and bottle feeding is accommodated as agreed with parents. Lunch consists of healthy bread meals with fruit and drinks, accommodating allergies and dietary needs. Our quiet, comfortable sleep areas ensure every child gets the rest they need.
In short, Kinddomein De Zeppelin offers a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where children thrive. We warmly invite you to visit and experience our unique approach.Read more

Summary
Kinddomein De Zeppelin in Heerhugowaard, part of Stichting Blosse opvang, provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 44 children aged 0 to 4 years in 3 core groups, including early education (voor- en vroegschoolse educatie/VE) through the Uk & Puk programme. During the annual inspection on 23 June 2026, a violation was initially identified: a staff member on the VE group Nemo could not demonstrably meet the required language requirement 3F. This meant that the requirement of 1 VE-qualified staff member per 8 children was not met. Following a recovery offer, the staff member was subsequently able to demonstrate compliance with the language requirement 3F, after which all requirements were met. Other areas such as pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, VOG registration, and deployment of pedagogical policy staff scored positively. The pedagogical practice demonstrated sensitive and responsive interactions, with attention to conversations, emotional safety, and acceptance of children.
