About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf De Tovertuin, located in a quiet residential area on the edge of the forest-rich Zeist. Our daycare center is housed in a former school building at Van der Heijdenlaan 90. We provide care for up to 49 children aged 0 to 4 years.
Our location features 2 baby groups, 1 vertical group and a toddler group. Each group is stimulatingly arranged according to the children's age. A striking feature is our large central hall where children can play to their heart's content. Additionally, we have a large, fully enclosed garden with a special baby garden. Both toddlers and babies have access to a slide, sandbox and climbing hill. Toddlers can cycle around the baby garden.
We pay great attention to your child's development and work with the Uk & Puk method, a recognized program for preschool education. This stimulates children's language and speech development and prepares them for a good start at primary school. Furthermore, we believe it's important that children grow up healthy and we work on Healthy Childcare. We use a fixed annual activity plan and organize additional activities tailored to themes, age or daily interests. We seize every opportunity to celebrate!
Kinderdagverblijf De Tovertuin is part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens.Read more

Geweldig kinderdagverblijf. Ik zat er in 2009-2010 en het was echt leuk. Goede tijdverdeling en leuke dingen te doen.
