About this care
Discover Peuteropvang De Kleine Braam, located within OBS De Hasselbraam in Heerhugowaard! Here, children aged 2 to 4 have all the space they need to play, make new friends, and gradually prepare for primary school. We encourage toddlers' independence and build their confidence in everything they can already do.
At De Kleine Braam, we work with thematic programmes that closely align with primary school education. Within each theme, music plays a central role: songs, rhythms and movement contribute to strong language development and increase the joy of learning. This approach promotes a smooth transition to group 1, in a familiar environment for the children.
Toddlers who need extra support are also very welcome with us. As a VE location (Voorschoolse Educatie / Early Childhood Education), we offer targeted guidance in language and social-emotional development, with extra attention to play, music and movement.
At De Kleine Braam, learning, playing and developing go hand in hand — in a warm, stimulating environment where every child is seen.
Open on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings.Read more

Summary
Peuteropvang De Kleine Braam in Heerhugowaard, part of Stichting Allente opvang, was inspected on 4 June 2026 by GGD Hollands Noorden (Municipal Health Service). The annual inspection shows that the location meets all assessed statutory requirements. The toddler daycare accommodates 16 children aged 2 to 4 years and provides early childhood education through the Startblokken programme. Previous inspections in 2023, 2024 and 2025 revealed violations, particularly regarding early childhood education, safety policy and space requirements, for which the municipality issued warnings and directives. Further investigation in March 2026 confirmed that these shortcomings had been resolved. The current inspection confirms that the pedagogical climate, staffing levels, safety policy and accommodation are now all in order.
