About this care
Welcome to Noorderhof, our daycare center located at Louis Couperusstraat 129 in Amsterdam. As part of Partou, we provide professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a safe and stimulating environment.
Our facility features a spacious outdoor playground with its own discovery garden where children can play and explore. The garden offers ample opportunities for natural play experiences and outdoor activities that contribute to your child's development.
We offer development-oriented activities tailored to each child's age and developmental stage. Our pedagogical staff provide a challenging activity program that stimulates curiosity and promotes development.
For the youngest children, we have separate sleeping areas where children can rest peacefully. We use horizontal groups, with babies and toddlers cared for in age-appropriate groups.
As a preschool education location, we collaborate with primary schools in the area to ensure a smooth transition to primary education. We use Partou's parent portal to keep parents informed about their child's development.
Both full and half-day care options are available, allowing us to flexibly respond to parents' needs.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Amsterdam on 15 December 2025 shows that daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Noorderhof in Amsterdam meets all statutory quality requirements. The location, part of Smallsteps B.V. (in cooperation with Partou), provides care for 32 children divided across two groups: a vertical group (Parel) and an early childhood education group (Koraal). Despite staffing challenges due to sick leave and turnover, with frequent use of temporary workers, the location manages to ensure stability through deployment of familiar substitutes. The pedagogical practice scores well: practitioners act sensitively and responsively, stimulate children's development through play, and guide conflicts constructively. The early childhood education (VVE) is carried out according to agreements with 960 hours in 1.5 years. The accommodation is safe and appropriately designed. No violations or areas for improvement have been identified.
