About this care
Welcome to PO Nieuwstraat, our daycare centre located right in the vibrant heart of Rotterdam. Situated at Nieuwstraat 15, just a stone’s throw from the Markthal, you will experience a natural sense of calm as soon as you step inside. In our modern, multi-purpose building we provide care for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4 years. The spacious, bright group rooms and our enclosed outdoor playground offer plenty of space to play, explore and grow.
We believe that good nutrition is the foundation for an active day. That is why our cook prepares fresh hot meals every day in our own kitchen. The menus are designed together with a nutritionist and we naturally take allergies or special dietary requirements into account.
We are open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:30. For parents who need a little extra time, extended care is available from 07:00 to 19:00. PO Nieuwstraat is part of KindeRdam Kinderopvang B.V. and works closely with the Montessori primary school Jan Prins and the Willibrordschool, both located in the same building. This collaboration makes the transition from childcare to school later on particularly smooth.
Feel free to come and experience the atmosphere and view all the rooms. We will be happy to tell you more about our approach and answer all your questions.Read more
