About this care
Welcome to De Grote Grutto in Ilpendam. Our daycare center is located at Gruttostraat 7 and provides care for 42 children aged 0 to 4 years. We are situated in a modern building that also houses primary school Sebastianus, the library, and a toddler playgroup. The location is easily accessible from Purmerend and surrounding areas.
Our daycare is cozy, accessible, safe, and familiar. We believe it's important to always have sufficient qualified childcare staff present in each group to provide the best care for your child. Therefore, we do not offer hourly childcare services.
For parents interested in our services, we recommend registering early in pregnancy (around 12 weeks) due to our waiting list. You can easily request a tour or register your child online through our website.
De Grote Grutto is part of TintelTuin, a childcare organization in the region.Read more

One shortcoming was identified regarding personnel and groups: one staff member was not linked in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang) because a planned termination of employment was not reversed.
