About this care
Welcome to Kinderwoud De Barte, our daycare center located at Ds Veenweg 10 in De Knipe. We provide professional childcare for up to 42 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 2010 and actively implements early childhood education (VE) programs to optimally support your child's development.
At Kinderwoud De Barte, your child is at the center of everything we do. Our qualified pedagogical staff create a warm, secure environment where every child can be themselves. We work from our core values of Security, Individuality and Self-development. This means we provide a safe foundation, pay attention to each child's unique personality, and create ample opportunities for playful discovery and learning.
Our activity program is carefully designed to focus on key developmental areas. We offer music activities where children can sing, dance and make music with simple instruments. Creative activities such as crafts and painting stimulate fine motor skills and imagination. Outdoor play is central to our program, utilizing our own garden and playground for natural exploration. Language development receives special attention through reading sessions, songs and conversations during daily activities.
The daily schedule is aligned with young children's natural rhythms. We offer quiet sleeping areas where children can rest in beds or cribs. For the youngest ones, we provide bottle feeding according to home routines. Toddlers enjoy communal bread meals with fresh fruit and drinks. We accommodate dietary requirements and allergies, working with healthy, fresh products.
Our groups are horizontally structured, with babies, toddlers and preschoolers in separate age groups. This allows us to precisely meet the developmental needs of each age stage. Each child is assigned a personal mentor who serves as the fixed contact point for parents and closely monitors the child's development.
We warmly invite you to visit our location and discover how we make every day a beautiful day for your child!Read more

Summary
The annual inspection by GGD Fryslân of daycare center Kinderwoud De Barte in De Knipe presents a mixed picture. The location provides care for a maximum of 42 children (0-4 years) in three core groups and also offers subsidized early childhood education. The pedagogical climate, accommodation, safety and health policy, and early childhood education meet the legal requirements. However, two violations were identified in the area of staff and groups, both occurring on 9 January 2026 during extreme weather conditions (code orange). A trainee staff member was left alone on a group without a qualified staff member present, and this same employee was deployed as a permanent staff member within their first year. The holder acknowledges the violations and states that the employee has since graduated. Internal working procedures have been tightened.
