About this care
Kindercentrum de KinderSofa B.V. is located at Grootdorp 32 in Merselo and has been providing professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years since 2008. We operate in vertical groups where children of different ages play and learn together. Our location accommodates up to 16 children, allowing us to give individual attention to each child. We are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on weekdays, throughout the year.
At KinderSofa, the coziness of home is central. We provide a pedagogically responsible environment where children feel safe and secure. Our spacious indoor and outdoor areas offer plenty of opportunities for play and discovery. We work with the VVE program Uk en Puk, specifically designed for children aged 0 to 4 years to stimulate their development.
Our services are flexible: parents can choose fixed or flexible childcare days, and swapping days is possible. Diapers are included in the price, so parents don't have to worry about extra costs. We work with fixed group leaders so that children see familiar faces and can build a close bond with our pedagogical staff.
Kindercentrum de KinderSofa is affiliated with the childcare industry organization and collaborates with the Broad School. We provide professional childcare with personal attention, where the well-being and development of each child is central.Read more
