About this care
Welcome to Partou Meerkids, our daycare centre located at Brugstraat 53 in the heart of Middenmeer. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 in two vertical groups: the Meerpeentjes and the Meerkoetjes. Each group features inviting play corners and its own character. Our centre is situated on the main shopping street and boasts a wonderful garden with a climbing hill, slide, sandbox and bicycle track. Even on rainy days we put on our boots and enjoy splashing in puddles.
We are open Monday to Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Flexible care is available and parents can swap days easily via the Partou parent app. Our daily rhythm includes free play, guided activities and three healthy meals: fruit in the morning, a bread lunch and a warm or cold snack at the end of the day. We sing songs, read stories and craft according to the weekly theme. Fresh, healthy food is central; we cater for allergies and special diets.
Safe sleeping is a priority. Babies sleep on their backs in individual beds with fresh linen or sleeping bags. Toddlers rest after lunch. We align sleep routines with what your child is used to at home. Our qualified pedagogical staff follow the Partou policy and are supported by pedagogical coaches. The Partou parent app keeps you updated with photos, messages and milestones.
Each year we host a parents’ evening and a joint celebration. During National Reading Days we invite parents to come and read aloud. Free parking is available right outside. Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the calm, warmth and action that go hand in hand at Meerkids.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Meerkids in Middenmeer was inspected unannounced on 29 July 2025. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that all assessed legal requirements are met; the report is therefore approved. The location provides care for a maximum of 24 children aged 0-4 years in two core groups. Strong points are the clear pedagogical policy (Location Guide), the sensitive and responsive guidance of children, the up-to-date safety and health policy, the correct staff qualifications (including language level IKK and baby training), and the safe, spacious indoor and outdoor areas. No violations were identified and no areas for improvement were indicated. Last year, a recovery offer was still issued for the indoor temperature; this has been resolved with air conditioning and additional agreements. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
