About this care

AI
Welcome to Loetjoe, our daycare centre located at Damsterdiep 215 in the heart of Groningen. We are part of Kinderopvang Senang and provide care for up to 37 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our horizontal groups are divided into four age groups: Nursery for babies up to 1 year, Stables for children from 1 to 1.5 years, Ballroom I for toddlers from 1.5 to 3 years, and Ballroom II for the little ones from 3 to 4 years. Age boundaries are flexible, as every child develops at their own pace. At Loetjoe, we follow the Senang concept: affordable, all-inclusive childcare without parents needing to bring diapers, food or care products. Everything is included in our hourly rate of € 10.85. We offer fixed daily care from 08:00 to 18:00 and work exclusively with full days. Our location is centrally situated, just a stone's throw from the UMCG, making it easily accessible for parents from the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods such as Damsterbuurt, Oosterpoort and Oosterpark. Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to provide your child with a safe, familiar and stimulating environment. We believe it's important that children can develop at their own pace and provide the space and guidance for this. At Loetjoe, your child will quickly feel at home and you as a parent can leave your child with peace of mind.
