About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf ’t Sproetje, a small-scale and involved daycare center located at Sterrebos 21 in Sint-Oedenrode. Our daycare originated from pure love for children and nature. We provide an experiential and development-oriented play environment where children aged 0 to 4 can develop at their own pace.
At ’t Sproetje, outdoor activities are central. We believe that children feel better and develop more easily in natural environments with fresh air. Our pedagogical staff take daily time to go outside with the children, where they can play, discover and experience adventures in our own garden and surrounding nature.
Our small scale enables personal attention. With a maximum of 9 children per day, we create a homely atmosphere where every child feels safe and comfortable. We work with fixed pedagogical staff who truly take time for each child. Our vision is inspired by Thomas Gordon's parenting style and the pedagogical insights of Emmi Pikler and Loris Malaguzzi.
We believe it's important for children to learn where healthy food comes from. Therefore, we regularly take the children to the local greengrocer, baker and mill to get fresh ingredients. This way, they learn about nutrition and health in a playful manner.
Kinderdagverblijf ’t Sproetje feels like a second home for your child, where fun, safety, trust and development are central. We are officially registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) under number 162520700, which entitles you to childcare allowance.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection on 26 February 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) 't Sproetje in Sint-Oedenrode showed a positive pedagogical climate, but identified serious shortcomings in staff deployment. A trainee staff member was deployed alone on several occasions without a qualified colleague, meaning the statutory staff-child ratio was not met. Written consent was also missing from the guidance plan, and no supporting adult was present during atypical deployment. Following a recovery offer, the provider has adjusted the staff roster and now meets all requirements. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
