About this care
Welcome to Kindergarden Naarden Lambertus Hortensiuslaan, our homely daycare centre set in three charming former houses on the edge of Naarden. We provide care for up to 65 children aged 0 to 4, divided into horizontal age groups so every child receives care that matches their exact stage of development.
Safety, tranquillity and space to grow are central to everything we do. Babies rest in separate bedrooms with low cots and soft lighting, while toddlers and preschoolers play and explore in bright, spacious group rooms. Our large, shady garden is a true adventure: there is an enclosed play area for the very youngest and a challenging discovery garden for the older toddlers. We even nap outdoors in special outdoor sleeping cabins, giving children fresh air and reinforcing their natural day-and-night rhythm.
Our pedagogical staff follow the Kindergarden Development Programme. This means we stimulate language, motor skills and social abilities through play. We sing every day, read aloud in our cosy book corner, craft with natural materials and cook or bake weekly in our children’s kitchen. We work with themes that connect to the children’s world – think ‘animals in the garden’, ‘colours and shapes’ or ‘the seasons’. We also take regular excursions to the forest or the petting zoo.
Care is part of the package: nappies, wipes, formula, hot meals, fruit and snacks are all included. We accommodate allergies and dietary preferences such as vegetarian, halal or gluten-free. Parents receive daily photos and reports via our Kindergarden app, so you never miss a moment of your child’s development.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience for yourself the warm, homely atmosphere of Kindergarden Naarden Lambertus Hortensiuslaan.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: April 21, 2026
Strengths
- Relaxed atmosphere and positively assessed emotional safety
- Sensitive and responsive interaction between staff and children
- Suitable accommodation with sufficient indoor and outdoor space
- Good stability: fixed core groups, permanent staff members and mentorship for all children
- Correct staffing levels and staff-child ratios
- All staff members hold the appropriate diplomas and qualifications
Shortcomings
- Revise the written description of formative deployment of students in work-study programs (BBL'ers) in the 'BBL deployment guideline': remove the suggestion that deployment based on the number of children present is permitted, as only contracted hours may apply
Summary
The annual inspection of 21 April 2026 of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kindergarden Naarden Lambertus Hortensiuslaan presents a predominantly positive picture. The location with five groups (two baby groups, toddler, preschooler, and preschool-plus) meets all assessed quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and accommodation. Emotional safety has been positively assessed: the atmosphere is relaxed and staff members respond sensitively and responsively to children. The accommodation is suitably arranged with sufficient indoor and outdoor space. There is one point of attention: the inspector notes a reservation regarding the written description of the formative deployment of students in work-study programs (BBL'ers) in the internal document 'BBL deployment guideline', which incorrectly suggests that deployment based on the number of children present is possible. In practice, however, no deviation occurs: the students are correctly deployed based on contracted hours. No violations were identified and no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
