About this care
Welcome to Mosterdzaadje Kinderopvang, a small-scale and homely daycare center located at Pottebakkerstraat 6 in Winschoten. We provide care for children from 10 weeks old in a warm, secure environment where every child feels safe and loved. Our daycare stands for coziness, conviviality, and open communication with parents.
At Mosterdzaadje, we believe in the power of outdoor play and nature experience. We have a beautiful large garden and go outside with the children every day. We walk to 'our forest' or go on an adventure by bike. In this way, we discover the world through challenging, adventurous play and develop creativity, knowledge, and critical thinking skills in a playful manner, in all seasons and weather types.
We work with the VVE program KIKI, focused on early childhood education, to optimally support the children's development. Our toddler group is open 40 weeks a year, four mornings a week, and offers perfect preparation for primary school. For our youngest ones, we offer flexible childcare options. We are open 47 weeks a year from Monday to Thursday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, excluding official holidays and vacation weeks.
Together, we create a place where children can grow into 'big trees', full of talents and fruits.Read more

The location meets the legal requirements in all inspected areas: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. One point of attention was identified: the changing unit is not located near hand-washing facilities, which deviates from RIVM guidelines.
