About this care

AI
Monkey Donky Speelhuis at Paterswoldseweg 123 in Groningen has been a trusted place for children aged 0 to 4 since 2003. Our location is beautifully situated at the entrance of Stadspark, surrounded by greenery and featuring a natural playground where children can run, climb and explore. We work with horizontal groups: a baby group, a toddler group and a preschool group, each with their own space tailored to the children's age. All groups also have access to our central hall, where children can climb, clamber and ride bikes every day. Your child's development is central to us. We use the VVE program Piramide and introduce a new theme every six to eight weeks. Children learn through play and are given every opportunity to be themselves. We believe it's important that children feel safe and at ease. That's why we work with familiar faces and provide a homely atmosphere where every child receives the attention they deserve. Everything your child needs is included: diapers, formula, fruit snacks, bread meals and snacks. Practical items such as sudocrem, sleeping bag or swaddle are also available. Only a cuddly toy or pacifier from home is welcome to come along! We invite you for a tour so you can experience for yourself how wonderful it is to play, discover and grow with us.

Predominantly positive. The location meets the legal requirements for staff and groups. In the area of pedagogical climate, there were two shortcomings in early childhood education that were resolved through recovery offers.

Strengths

  • Warm and supportive pedagogical practice with individual attention for children
  • Good alignment with home situations and babies' natural rhythms
  • Calm and relaxed atmosphere in the group
  • Sufficient staff qualifications and correct registration in the persons register
  • Stable core groups with fixed staff members and mentorship
  • Correct offer of 960 hours of early childhood education

Shortcomings

  • Insufficient concrete description in the pedagogical work plan of how children's development is stimulated in specific developmental areas (numeracy, motor development, social-emotional development)
  • Insufficient concrete description in the pedagogical work plan of the layout of the early education space and available materials

Violations

  • Onvoldoende concrete beschrijving in pedagogisch werkplan van stimulering ontwikkeling kinderen op specifieke ontwikkelingsgebieden (rekenen, motorische ontwikkeling, sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling)
  • Onvoldoende concrete beschrijving in pedagogisch werkplan van inrichting VE-ruimte en beschikbaar materiaal

Summary

The annual inspection of 30 April 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Monkey Donky Speelhuis Paterswoldseweg in Groningen shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets the legal requirements for staff and groups. In the area of pedagogical climate, there were two shortcomings in early childhood education: the pedagogical work plan insufficiently described how children's development is stimulated in the areas of numeracy, motor skills, and social-emotional development, and the layout of the early education space and available materials were insufficiently described. The location successfully completed both recovery offers by supplementing the pedagogical work plan. The pedagogical practice in the baby group Veldmuisjes appears warm and supportive, with individual attention and good alignment with home situations. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
