About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Merlijn, located at In de Pollack 1 in the heart of Oirsbeek. We are part of the multifunctional center De Oirsprong, which also houses a primary school, playgroup, community center and sports hall. This unique collaboration provides our children with a rich environment full of discoveries and opportunities.
At Merlijn we provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a warm, homely atmosphere. Our spacious, bright group areas are specially designed for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Each age group has its own familiar corner, but we also consciously work with horizontal groups where children of the same age come together. This allows us to optimally follow and stimulate each child's development.
Our pedagogical staff are ready every day with attention, warmth and great expertise. We believe that every child is unique and has their own pace to grow and develop. In our safe and familiar environment, children can be who they are. We offer a fixed daily routine with recognizable moments, with room for both active discovery trips and quiet moments.
Outdoor play is very important to us. Our children enjoy the fresh air daily in our own garden and on the playgrounds of De Oirsprong. Whether it's messing around in the sand, building huts or just running around, outdoor learning and playing is part of it. Inside we offer creative activities in our studio, where children can freely experiment with different materials.
We provide healthy and tasty meals, including fresh fruit and snacks. For the little ones we provide bottle feeding and the necessary care products. Diapers are also included with us, so parents can bring and pick up without worry. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30, with half days also possible.
At Kinderdagverblijf Merlijn we work intensively with parents. We find it important that you feel involved in your child's development. That is why we regularly talk to you about your child's experiences and coordinate what your child needs. Together we ensure that your child feels welcome and comes to Merlijn with pleasure.Read more
