About this care
Welcome to Partou Koppestok! Our daycare centre is located at Koppestokstraat 38 in Utrecht’s Zuilen district. Playing, crafting, moving and discovering – in our spacious, bright building your child’s world grows a little bigger every day.
The youngest ones enjoy a quiet baby room where they can dream and roll around safely. Toddler groups paint, read picture books and move around to their heart’s content. Many materials are placed at eye level so children can choose what they want to play with. We deliberately work with age groups: babies have their own baby garden, while toddlers use the large city garden where they can climb, run and explore.
Dancing, moving and performing take place in the gym of the after-school care that is attached to our building. We also organise regular language-stimulating activities for toddlers. Nothing beats going outside! We take the children on daily discovery trips in our own garden or in the neighbourhood. Every milestone, every smile – you can follow it all in our own Partou app.
We believe it is important that children learn something new every day. That is why we offer early childhood education (VVE) and work with a pedagogical plan that connects to the world of experience of young children. Our pedagogical staff provide warm attention and professional care. We serve fresh and healthy meals daily, taking allergies or dietary requirements into account.
In short: at Partou Koppestok your child gets a flying start in a safe, challenging environment where play and development go hand in hand.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Koppestok in Utrecht (part of Smallsteps B.V.) provides care for 80 children in four core groups. During the unannounced inspection on 4 March 2025, the location was found to meet most quality requirements. One violation was identified: the layout of the group rooms Orka's and Dolfijnen was insufficiently appropriate, with too little play material that did not challenge or stimulate children. The location was given a recovery offer and resolved the shortcoming within two weeks, as demonstrated with photographs and explanation. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that following recovery, all tested requirements are met. There is sufficient staff present, the staff-child ratio is in order, and children are cared for in fixed core groups with permanent staff members. The pedagogical policy is implemented as documented. No other violations or points for improvement were identified.
