About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Lappelein, located at Commandeurstraat 17 in the heart of Heerenveen. Since 1 January 2025 we have become part of Kids First Kinderopvang, giving our small-scale, home-like daycare a new and stable future. We provide daycare for children from 12 weeks up to 4 years in one vertical group, where babies, toddlers and preschoolers play and learn together.
Our approach is child-centred: we work in a cosy, family atmosphere with a maximum of 25 children at a time, ensuring every child receives the personal attention they deserve. Our experienced pedagogical staff offer a wide range of activities – from play and crafts to educational projects and outdoor activities – always tailored to your child's age and development. We have a spacious, secure garden where children can enjoy fresh air and run around every day.
We offer flexible opening hours: Monday to Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and from 12:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Kids First offers various options for daycare: full-day and half-day care. Flexibility is our trademark: besides regular daycare we also provide occasional care. Feel free to drop in for a tour or contact us by phone – we are happy to help.Read more
