About this care
Ondersteboven Daycare is located at Pijlpuntstraat 1 in Nijmegen and is part of KION, the largest childcare organisation in the region. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years, five days a week from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Early drop-off from 7:00 am is available on request.
Our setting is small-scale and homely, so every child quickly feels at home. We work with consistent pedagogical staff who know and approach each child personally. Playing, discovering and developing are central; we offer a secure base in which children can move freely and follow their own pace. Indoors we have different corners and spaces that invite imaginative play, crafts, reading aloud and building. Outside there is an enclosed, green garden with a sandpit, natural play equipment and plenty of room to run, cycle or simply lie in the grass.
For the very youngest we have a separate baby room with quiet sleeping corners and soft materials. There is also plenty of attention to sleep rhythms, feeding and the first developmental steps. For toddlers and pre-schoolers we organise playful activities that match their curiosity: singing, dancing, storytelling, exploring the nature garden and creative projects. We work from the idea that children learn by doing and by experiencing.
Parental involvement is important to us. Daily we keep a brief report via an app on eating, sleeping and playing, so you can follow along. We schedule regular parent meetings and organise fun moments such as the Sinterklaas celebration, Christmas breakfast and summer picnic. In short, at Ondersteboven your child has every opportunity to develop playfully in a warm, safe environment.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: April 9, 2026
Strengths
- Staff communicate clearly and respectfully with children
- Good emotional safety and encouragement of independence
- Correct staff-to-child ratio
- All staff hold appropriate qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and PRK registration
- Stable care in fixed core groups
- Dutch as the language of communication
Shortcomings
- The outdoor space is not directly adjacent to the group rooms, which creates a high threshold for staff to take babies outside; as a result, babies have fewer opportunities to gain outdoor experiences
Summary
Kinderdagverblijf Ondersteboven in Nijmegen, part of KION Kinderopvang B.V., was inspected by GGD Gelderland-Zuid on 9 April 2026. The location with 60 childcare places and 4 core groups meets all statutory quality requirements examined. The pedagogical climate is good: staff communicate respectfully, provide emotional safety and encourage independence. One signal was identified that babies play outside less due to the location of the outdoor space, which is not directly adjacent to the group rooms. Staff and groups meet all requirements: appropriate qualifications, Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), PRK registration, correct staff-to-child ratio and stable core groups. There are no violations or recovery offers. The advice to the municipality is no enforcement.
