About this care
Welcome to De Hommeltjes, our cozy daycare centre located at Epelenberg 4 in Breda East. We are part of Kinderopvang Bloem Breda and offer small-scale, homely childcare for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. At De Hommeltjes, we work with vertical groups, where babies, toddlers and preschoolers play and learn together. This creates a warm and friendly atmosphere in which the youngest children feel safe and the older ones learn to be caring.
Our qualified childcare staff are ready every day to give your child a safe and stimulating day. We regularly go on outings to the neighbourhood, the petting zoo or the forest – always tailored to the age and interests of the children. For these trips we use our cargo bike, pushcart or the ‘Bloembus’. This way, children discover the world around them in a playful and safe manner.
Sustainability and a personal approach are central to our philosophy. We consciously choose organic and healthy food, sustainable materials and carefully selected toys. We also take time for you as a parent: at drop-off and pick-up we are open for a chat, so we can align our care as closely as possible with your parenting style and wishes.
At De Hommeltjes your child feels at home. We provide a calm, safe environment in which every child is given the space to develop at their own pace. Would you like to get to know us better? Feel free to make an appointment for a tour – we would love to show you why De Hommeltjes is so special.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Hom meltjes in Breda is part of Bloem Breda B.V. and provides care for a maximum of 16 children (ages 0-4) in one group. The annual inspection of 6 October 2025 shows an overall positive picture. The pedagogical practice is experienced as strong: the staff member acts in a sensitive, responsive manner, adapts communication to the child's eye level, and uses everyday moments for language development and interaction. One violation was identified regarding the deployment of the pedagogical policy staff member. The holder used an incorrect calculation by basing it on 3 rather than 4 locations, resulting in incorrect minimum hours (310 instead of 360 hours). Following a recovery offer, this violation was resolved on 20 October 2025. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement.
