About this care
Welcome to KinderOpvang De Vlinder, a warm and homely daycare center located at Veldweg 3 in Gendringen. Since 2007, we have been providing small-scale childcare for children from 10 weeks to 4 years old. With us, everything revolves around creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where children can grow and discover through play.
Our vision is based on a positive approach to the child. Children are given space to develop under the guidance of qualified pedagogical staff. We believe every child is unique, which is why we offer activities and toys tailored to the individual needs of young children. By using sustainable materials and stimulating creativity and motor development, we create a place where children feel free to play, dream, and be themselves.
Daily, we take trips into nature with our electric cargo bike. Outdoor play is an important part of our day, as it's not only fun but also contributes to the physical, emotional, and social development of the child. Additionally, we offer activities such as baby massages and yoga to strengthen the bond between parent and child and contribute to their well-being.
We work with an Early Childhood Education program (VVE) through which we stimulate language, motor, and social skills development in a playful way. This provides excellent preparation for primary school. Parents are actively involved in their child's development through personal conversations, parent evenings, and joint activities such as themed outings and annual celebrations.
Our small-scale approach ensures personal attention and a homely atmosphere. We believe it's important that children feel safe and secure so they can grow and discover with joy. Together with parents, we build a trusted foundation for a beautiful future.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
At KinderOpvang De Vlinder, we use settling-in days: a gentle settling-in period (wenperiode) in which your child can get used to the group, the childcare professionals, and the new environment at their own pace. Every child is unique and has their own talents; we help children connect with themselves, their surroundings, and the people around them.

Summary
This follow-up inspection at KinderOpvang De Vlinder in Gendringen assessed whether a previously identified shortcoming in the 'Safety and Health' domain had been resolved. During the annual inspection on 21 April 2026, a violation was established: a 9-month-old baby was sleeping unsafely in a stroller in the group room, while the policy prohibits this. The room temperature was also too high and the sleeping place was not screened off. At the follow-up inspection on 19 May 2026, it was found that the provider now correctly follows the safe sleeping protocol: children sleep in cribs, parents are informed, and deviating requests are refused. The shortcoming has been resolved.
