About this care
Kindercentrum De Ark is located at Palestrinastraat 10 in Oss and has provided professional daycare for children aged 0-4 since 2010. As a Christian organisation we want every child to leave happier and more developed than when they arrived. The first four years of life are crucial; what a child learns and experiences now partly determines the rest of their life. Therefore we offer a stable, challenging and loving environment in which every child can grow as a person.
Our horizontal groups follow industry ratios and are led by fixed, dedicated staff who think flexibly with parents. We are open Monday to Friday from 06:00 to 18:00 so care fits your working hours. Swapping days is possible and we provide early-years education (VVE), allowing toddlers to practise first school skills through play.
Nappies are included and the outdoor playground invites exploration and movement. We are affiliated with a sector organisation and hold a valid operating licence. Our team is ready to work with you as a parent to give your child the very best start.

Summary
Kindercentrum De Ark in Oss, a subsidized daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 54 children (ages 0–4), was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 24 and 25 November 2025. The location provides early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) at two toddler groups. Overall, the daycare center meets the quality requirements well. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff act carefully and responsively, and the VE program Uk & Puk is well implemented with attention to language, numeracy, motor skills, and social-emotional development. One violation was identified: a staff member in the VE group did not have the required language proficiency level 3F for Speaking and Conducting Conversations. Following a recovery offer, this issue has been resolved: the staff member concerned is no longer deployed during VE hours, is undergoing training, and a new procedure has been established for screening language proficiency levels. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
