About this care
Kinderdagverblijf Sprookjesrijk is a small-scale, homey and professional daycare located at Omloop 4 in Utrecht. We provide care for children from 2 months to 4 years in a warm, familiar environment that we proudly call their second home. Our location has a maximum capacity of 24 childcare places and has been registered in the National Childcare Register since February 4, 2019 under number 115376665.
At Sprookjesrijk, personal attention is our priority. We work in vertical groups where children of different ages play and learn together. This setup creates a special group dynamic where older children learn to be considerate of the little ones, while the youngest develop by observing the older children. Our pedagogical staff carefully guide these interactions, creating a natural learning environment.
We provide daily fresh, healthy meals that are organic whenever possible. Children receive fresh fruit, a warm meal and healthy snacks. For children with specific dietary requirements, such as vegetarian or allergies, we are happy to make appropriate arrangements. Diapers are provided by us, as well as sleeping bags for the youngest children who nap with us.
Safety and security are fundamental to us. Our location is equipped with camera systems that record 24/7 for the safety of children and staff. We maintain clear house rules and work with a pedagogical policy plan that is available for viewing at our location. Communication with parents is very important to us - there is daily verbal handover at pick-up and drop-off, and we send a monthly newsletter with all developments.
Kinderdagverblijf Sprookjesrijk takes pride in being a place where children go with pleasure, where parents can leave their children with peace of mind, and where every child gets the space to grow and flourish at their own pace.Read more

Following a recovery offer, all assessed quality requirements have been met; the report is therefore 'approved'.
