About this care
Welcome to Liemers Lotus day-care centre, located at Guido Gezellestraat 40 in Zevenaar. We are a private, small-scale organisation that has been providing professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 since 2001. Our focus is on security, development and personal attention.
Our four family groups follow a vertical structure: children from 0 to 4 years play and learn together, allowing the youngest to develop alongside the toddlers and the toddlers to learn to care for the babies. Family group 1 welcomes up to 16 children in a calm atmosphere, while family group 2 has space for 14 children. Family group 3 will soon accommodate 16 children aged 2 to 4. Although we cooperate with Sterrenschool for after-school care, our day-care centre itself is dedicated solely to the youngest children.
Outside there is a safe playground where children can romp, build sandcastles and explore nature. We regularly take trips to the nearby Juvenaat forest and enjoy creative activities such as arts and crafts, fruit and smoothie workshops. Healthy food is a given: fresh fruit and vegetable snacks are served daily.
Short lines of communication, high involvement, quality and flexibility are our core values. Parents experience us as homely and personal; we believe every child and every parent should feel at home. You can start with us from 10 weeks until your child goes to school. Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of Liemers Lotus yourself.Read more

Violations
- The safety and health policy lacked a concrete description of the risk of falling from height from a duo-bed (toddler bunk bed) and corresponding measures; not all upper bunks had a canopy/roof
- A qualified first aider was not present at all times per registered facility; one first aider was sometimes deployed for both the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and the after-school care (BSO)
Summary
The annual inspection of 29 April 2026 of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Liemers Lotus in Zevenaar shows an overall well-functioning childcare facility. The location meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate, personnel and groups, and parental rights. Two violations were identified regarding safety and health, which have been resolved through a recovery offer. These concerned missing canopies on duo-beds (toddler bunk beds), creating a risk of children falling from height, and the absence of a qualified first aider at all times per registered facility. Both shortcomings have been remedied: the bed policy has been tightened with age and developmental criteria, and the percentage of first aid-certified staff will be increased to 75%. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement action.
