About this care
Welcome to Paddington Kinderhotels Pro-Kids Laren, our trusted daycare centre located at Burgemeester van Nispen van Sevenaerstraat 31 in the heart of Laren. Since 1994 we have provided professional, tailor-made childcare for children aged 0 to 4 in a small-scale, homely setting. Flexibility is our trademark: you book only the hours you need and may bring and collect your children whenever it suits you. Stuck in traffic or meeting running late? No problem, we adapt to your day.
Our qualified, close-knit team works in one vertical group where babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers grow up together and learn from one another. Each week we introduce a new theme; books, crafts and activities are all tuned to that theme. Children enjoy baking biscuits and bread, take part in gym and yoga sessions, dance, sing and make music, play games, listen to stories and spend plenty of time outdoors. We organise picnics in the woods, grow our own vegetables and explore nature in the garden.
Parents are completely unburdened: nappies, standard baby food, healthy meals and drinks are all included. Every day we serve a fresh, two-course warm lunch prepared with the best possible organic ingredients. If your child has an allergy or you follow a vegetarian diet, just let us know and we will adjust the menu. You don’t need to bring anything.
Safety and trust are paramount. Our setting is small and manageable, ensuring every child receives the personal attention they deserve. Parents are always welcome to discuss their wishes with our pedagogical staff; we value feedback and tailor the care to what your family needs. Together we create a second home where your child feels safe, happy and inspired.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
Your child will come in for two half-day settling-in sessions. These settling-in moments are important, as discovering a new environment and seeing unfamiliar faces can be quite exciting. Babies can get used to the sounds in the group and the voices of the childcare professionals, while older children meet the professionals and the other children in the group. They can explore the group room and become familiar with the daily routine.
