About this care
Welcome to Kinderopvang Marathon, a cozy daycare center located in the atmospheric school building at Hygiëaplein 40 in Amsterdam. We provide care for up to 46 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location features spacious playgrounds where children can play and explore to their heart's content.
As part of Partou, we work with a clear pedagogical policy focused on the development of young children. We offer preschool education (VE) to optimally prepare children for primary school. Our professional childcare staff provide a safe and stimulating environment where each child can develop at their own pace.
The location is housed in a characteristic school building that is perfectly equipped for daycare. We have different groups where children are cared for in age-based horizontal groups. This means that babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are in separate groups, tailored to their specific needs and developmental stage.
Our spacious outdoor area offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and discovery. Children can play safely here while learning about nature and developing their motor skills. We believe it's important that children can both play and learn indoors and outdoors.
Kinderopvang Marathon is officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 497089099 and is known for its personal approach and professional care for young children.Read more

Summary
Kinderopvang Marathon (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV) at Hygiëaplein in Amsterdam provides care for up to 46 children in two groups: a baby group and a toddler group. The inspection took place on 23 April 2025. The pedagogical climate is experienced as positive: there are safe interactions, stimulating activities and attention for individual children. Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VVE) is offered 3 days per week through the Uk & Puk programme, with sufficient hours and qualified staff. One violation was identified: a substitute staff member had a statutory VVE certificate, but not the required Amsterdam basic training. Following the recovery offer, this staff member was immediately no longer deployed on VVE days and registered for the correct training. The location otherwise meets all requirements for staffing, group size, hygiene, safety and accommodation. The advice to the municipality is to impose no measures.
