About this care
Fantaziehuis KDV Cartesius at Cartesiusweg 23 in Utrecht is a creative discovery space for children aged 0-4. Development is central in a warm, homely environment where children are challenged to discover themselves and the world around them. Our large garden is a green oasis in the city where children play outdoors. We involve children in daily activities and craft with various materials. For toddlers from 2.5 years we offer extra activities such as mindfulness, toddler gym, jazz dance and theatre.
The location has 3 baby groups and 3 toddler groups. Babies follow their own daily rhythm in consultation with parents. Toddler groups work thematically with targeted activities. Fruit, water and tea are included; parents provide bread meals themselves.
Our team is ready every morning for a warm welcome. We take time for personal handover. Fantaziehuis KDV Cartesius is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30. The 2026 hourly rate is €12.38 for the standard all-inclusive package. Feel free to book a tour!Read more
