About this care
Welcome to Partou daycare De Grote Beer located at Meerhof 33 in Leiden! Our small-scale daycare is situated in the Haagweg-Zuid neighborhood, opposite primary schools Leimundo and de Ley. The high windows in our group spaces create a wonderfully bright and homely atmosphere.
Everything we do revolves around learning through play. We provide pre- and early childhood education (VVE) through the Uk and Puk program, preparing children for primary school in a playful way. Our pedagogical professionals work with six building blocks that help children grow in resilience and self-confidence. A speech therapist pays extra attention to your child's speech and language development.
Our spacious outdoor area is a true playground paradise. Children can romp on our large playground, discover in the vegetable garden, or play in the playground next to our building. For the littlest ones, there's a cozy baby garden to quietly discover the world. We go outside every day because outdoor play is good for motor development.
A day with us looks like this: we start calmly with reading a book, then go outside for fresh air, play with fun themes from our VVE program, eat healthy and freshly prepared meals, and make music together. Through our Partou parent app, we keep you updated on all your child's milestones and happy moments.
We work with vertical groups where children aged 0-4 play and learn together. This stimulates social development and older children learn from younger ones and vice versa. Our language of communication is Dutch and we work closely with speech therapy, CJG and schools in the neighborhood for an optimal continuous developmental line.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kinderopvang Grote Beer in Leiden was inspected unannounced on 29 January 2025. The pedagogical climate and personnel policy more than meet the requirements: children experience warm, emotional safety, the early childhood education programme (Uk & Puk) is well structured, and all staff are properly qualified. There was one violation: hygiene during nappy changing did not comply with the location's own policy (changing mat not cleaned, hands not consistently washed). Following a recovery offer, the location submitted a plan with additional training and checks; the Municipal Health Service (GGD) accepted this and the violation has thereby been resolved. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement measures.
Reviews
Professional staff with educational programs, proper care and decent facilities. They have a playground with sandpit.
