About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf ’t Gouden Hartje, a homely daycare centre located at Essenburg 1C in Ede where children aged 0 to 4 feel safe and cherished. We opened our doors in 2023 with the mission to offer every child a warm, small-scale environment in which to play, explore and grow. Our single horizontal group, called ‘Lieve Hartjes’, welcomes up to fourteen children, ensuring each child receives the personal attention they deserve.
Our approach centres on calm, routine and hygiene. The day starts at 07:30 with a friendly welcome, followed by fruit at 09:30 and creative activities such as arts & crafts, painting, building and simple cooking. We sing, dance and make music, while also introducing early language and numeracy. Babies enjoy extra quiet moments and sensory play; they are read to and gently stimulated. At 12:00 we serve a fresh, hot lunch – think rice with chicken and vegetables or macaroni with minced meat – so parents can relax at home and enjoy quality time later.
We spend plenty of time outdoors in our secure garden and organise regular outings to the petting zoo, library or local park. Our qualified staff guide the children with patience and expertise, taking care of nappy changes, naps and potty training according to each family’s wishes. In short, at ’t Gouden Hartje your child truly feels at home.Read more

Summary
Kindercentrum 't Gouden Hartje in Ede was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 29 January 2026. The annual inspection shows that the location meets all quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. The center offers 14 daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) places for children aged 0-4 and after-school care (BSO) for up to 20 children. The pedagogical policy officer coaches staff effectively, and the safety policy is well implemented. There is no parent committee, but parents are sufficiently involved in policy through newsletters and the website. The inspection identified one deviation on 21 January 2026: an unqualified after-school care (BSO) professional was temporarily deployed at the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), causing the staff-to-child ratio not to be met. This concerned a cause-and-effect situation in which the ratio was not assessed separately.
