About this care

AI
In the heart of Terwijde, right in Utrecht’s Leidsche Rijn district, you will find Kindergarden Terwijde. We are located in a national monument—one of the oldest farms in the Netherlands—that has stood here since the Middle Ages. The characteristic farmhouse offers a homely environment where children aged 0 to 4 can grow up feeling safe and secure. At Kindergarden Terwijde we work with horizontal groups. This means children are placed with peers in one of our five groups: two baby groups (0–2 years), one infant group (1–3 years), two toddler groups (2–4 years) and an older-toddler group (3+ years) that provides extra preparation for primary school. Each group has its own carefully designed space that matches the children’s developmental stage. We provide learning and play materials tailored to each child, encouraging every little one to take the next step in their development. Our large, green garden is an adventurous place where children can explore, play and move. For the very youngest we have a separate baby garden: a safe, enclosed area where babies can enjoy the fresh air. Older children can dig in the sandpit, race around on carts or hide in the willow tunnel. Every day the toddlers join Friends call me Jim, an interactive movement programme in which we stimulate imagination and motor skills through stories and play. We believe parents should not have to worry about practical matters. That is why nappies, baby wipes and care products from brands such as Pampers, Naty, Naïf and Sudocrem are included. Formula from Nutrilon, Hipp Bio and Biobim, as well as dummies and bottles from MAM, Difrax and Avent, are also provided. Each day we serve a fresh, hot lunch prepared on site and tailored to the child’s age. Once a quarter a children’s hairdresser visits to trim your child’s hair if you wish, making life even easier for parents. Location manager Leonie Dix and her team are ready to show you around and answer all your questions. We work with great pleasure and attention on the development of every child and look forward to welcoming you and your little one to our special farmhouse.

GGD Inspection

Violations

Inspection date: June 9, 2026

6
Strengths
0
Shortcomings
1
Violations
Following the recovery offer, the location now meets the quality requirements of the Childcare Act.

Strengths

  • Pedagogical policy is in place and being implemented
  • Sufficient qualified staff present according to the correct ratios
  • Correct deployment of staff in training and interns
  • Fixed core groups and mentor structure are well organised
  • Accommodation meets all requirements: sufficient indoor and outdoor space
  • VOG (Certificate of Conduct) registration and Childcare Personnel Register are in order

Violations

  • On toddler group 1, no assigned permanent staff member was present on 9 June 2026; only two permanent staff members had been assigned instead of a maximum of three, and both were absent due to holiday/leave. The deployed familiar staff member had not been formally assigned as permanent staff, meaning the statutory possibility for incidental deviation could not be met.

Summary

The annual inspection of 9 June 2026 at Kindergarden Utrecht Terwijde showed generally good results. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) meets the quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff, and accommodation. One incidental shortcoming was identified regarding stability of care: on toddler group 1, no assigned permanent staff member was present on the day of inspection due to holiday and leave, although a familiar staff member had been deployed. The emotional safety of the children was in practice ensured. The holder was given a recovery offer that has been successfully completed. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
