About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Het Speelbos, located at Schaapsdijkweg 56 in Venlo. We are a daycare centre with a clear green vision, providing responsible childcare for children aged 0 to 4. Our site covers 5,000 m² and is designed as a safe, natural play and living environment. Children are surrounded by animals, plants and natural materials that stimulate all their senses and imagination.
At Het Speelbos we follow our own unique concept that emphasises rest, cleanliness and regularity. We use horizontal groups: separate baby groups ‘de uiltjes’ and ‘de egeltjes’ (0 – approx. 1.5 years), a toddler group ‘de hertjes’ (approx. 1.5 – 2.5 years) and a pre-school group ‘de vosjes’ (from approx. 2.5 years). Every child is given space to develop at his or her own pace under the guidance of experienced pedagogical staff.
Our activities are fully focused on nature experience and healthy development. Children garden in our vegetable patch, learn to care for animals and discover seasons and natural processes. Themes and Early Childhood Education (VVE) using the Uk en Puk method complete the programme. We believe it is important for children to have real experiences and thus develop a lasting bond with nature.
Our opening hours are generous: every weekday from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, with no extra charges. We only offer fixed contracts; swapping days or hours is not possible. For a tour or information about available places, please contact us on 077 205 83 04 or info@kdvhetspeelbos.nl.Read more

Summary
Kinderdagverblijf Het Speelbos in Venlo, a private daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0–4 with 83 places, was inspected on 1 April 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Limburg-Noord. The location now meets all quality requirements following a recovery offer. A recovery offer was issued for the failure to publish the most recent inspection report on the website; this was resolved within the set timeframe. A second violation concerned an incorrect core group declaration for a child placed across two groups, but this had already been resolved upon inquiry. Notably, the location is registered for 83 places while the indoor play area permits a maximum of 51. The pedagogical climate, staffing, safety, and parent committee are all satisfactory. Staff show commitment, and there are fixed routines and groups.
