About this care
Welcome to Kindercentrum De Kleine Markies, where we have combined toddler care and daycare into one warm, loving environment for children aged 0 to 4 years. At our location on Zuiderdreef 314 in Bergen op Zoom, we provide care for up to 48 children in a homely atmosphere where every child has space to grow and develop.
We believe in the power of being together. Our children from toddler care (2-4 years) seamlessly integrate with children from daycare (0-4 years), creating natural age diversity and abundant learning opportunities. This horizontal group structure allows children to learn from and with each other, regardless of age.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe foundation where children can flourish. We work with thematic approaches and offer daily activities such as crafting, singing, music making, and outdoor play. Our spacious garden invites exploration and play in nature. We have a lovely playground for running and playing, a garden for digging and discovering plants and small creatures.
For the youngest ones, we provide all necessary care: bottle feeding, diaper changes, and rest moments in our separate sleeping areas. For older children, we provide bread meals, warm meals, and healthy snacks. We accommodate allergies and dietary requirements.
Our opening hours are Monday through Friday from 06:30 to 18:30, with care available from 06:30 upon request. We focus on your child's development through preschool education (VVE) and stimulate language development and social skills in a playful manner.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) annual inspection on 18 May 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Kleine Markies in Bergen op Zoom shows a predominantly positive picture, with compliance regarding requirements for staff, group sizes, and parental rights. The pedagogical practice is experienced as strong: staff members are sensitive, responsive, and well attuned to children's development. However, one violation was identified in the area of early childhood education (VE). In the core group Teddybeer (0-4 years), a BOL intern was formally deployed as the third staff member, while she did not hold the required VE qualification. As a result, the statutory ratio of at least one qualified VE staff member per eight children was not met. The provider has cited mitigating circumstances: five pregnant staff members and structural staff shortages despite active recruitment efforts. The municipality was aware of the incidental deviation. The intern has since passed her exams and will soon receive her diploma.
