About this care
De Watergeuzen is the most wonderful place for your child to develop through play. There's so much to see all around us: beautiful boats, big trucks and all kinds of industrial transport. At the De Waard business park in Leiden, children have so much to take in. In our spacious, warmly decorated group rooms, every child can play and explore to their heart's content. And it's not just indoors — outside we have an exciting environment too: the baby patio, the playground, the rooftop terrace and the football cage.
The most loving baby care
Your baby in trusted hands with our permanent childcare staff. Together with the other children, we'll make friends, play and discover the world. Throughout the day, alongside group activities, there's also plenty of time for one-on-one moments with your little one. This way, our staff build a warm, trusting bond with your child.
Playing and discovering at preschool/toddler care
Going on adventures with friends in the different play corners, and enjoying the outdoors too! Running, cycling and playing in the sandpit. Our childcare staff challenge your toddler every day to discover and grow through play. We do this by offering a varied programme of play and activities tailored to your toddler's age and interests.Read more

We are so happy to have our daughter attend this daycare. Everyone is loving and kind, while still very down-to-earth and practical.
