About this care

Welcome to Kindercentrum Poko Loko, located at De Vennen 2 in the heart of Zuidbroek, Midden-Groningen. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 in a safe and homely environment. Our horizontal group structure consists of four age groups: Group Purple and Green for babies 0-1 year, Group Orange for toddlers 2 years, and Group Blue for preschoolers 3 years. Each group has its own space, tailored to the developmental needs of that age. Parents check their child in and out via our convenient app and can notify us before 8:00 AM if their little one will stay home. For unexpected flexible or extra care we are happy to think along; just send an email to info@poko-loko.nl or call (0598) 45 26 45. We are easily accessible, close to the A7 and N33, and look forward to welcoming you and your child.

Summary

Kindercentrum Poko Loko in Zuidbroek, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 60 places offering early childhood education, was inspected on 1 December 2025. The location operates with four permanent groups: two baby groups, one toddler group, and one preschooler group. Most areas comply with legal requirements, including general terms and conditions, staff and groups, accommodation, and parental rights. The pedagogical climate in practice is good, with sensitive and responsive interactions. However, a violation was identified in the area of early childhood education: the provision of 960 hours per year was not described in concrete terms. Despite a recovery offer and a revised policy, the location still does not meet this requirement, as a concrete description of days and times is lacking. The ventilation of bedrooms is an area for attention; the operator has taken measures until a new environmental permit is granted.
