About this care
Welcome to Partou Papillon/Mirakel, located at Prinses Irenestraat 11 in Markelo. Our daycare centre offers childcare for children from 0 to 4 years in a bright, homely setting. We operate two horizontal groups: one for babies and one for toddlers, ensuring every child receives care that matches their stage of development.
Play, relax and discover new adventures are the focus of every day. A warm, freshly prepared meal is served daily and we organise fun activities that stimulate language development—reading together, singing and movement games. Twice a week the toddlers enjoy the gym at the nearby Markelo children’s centre, where they can burn off energy.
Our qualified pedagogical staff create a safe and nurturing environment where every child feels seen. Parents stay informed of milestones and special moments through the Partou app. Feel free to visit for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere where your child will make their first friends!Read more

Summary
Kinderopvang Papillon in Markelo, part of Smallsteps/Partou B.V., was inspected by GGD Twente on 12 May 2026. The unannounced annual inspection shows that this location meets all assessed requirements. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) accommodates 44 children (ages 0-4) in two core groups and also provides early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie). The pedagogical practice scores well on emotional safety, respectful interaction, and developmental stimulation. Staff meet all training requirements and the staff-to-child ratio is correct. However, a note was made regarding the early childhood education training plan, which lacks concrete content and includes fewer courses than comparable locations. This was discussed with the acting location manager and will be included in the handover. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
