About this care
Daycare Ukkie is the place for little adventurers at Arnhemseweg 160 in Apeldoorn. Here there is plenty of space to play, learn and grow. And of course we do this together, because it's more fun together. Together we turn our daycare into a magical world to explore and discover.
In our playful and colorful environment, there is something new to discover every day. We craft and build, sing and dance, observe and investigate. At Ukkie we never get bored! We play games, read exciting stories and even go on adventurous outings. And of course we make lots of friends along the way!
Ukkie is not just any daycare. Our pedagogical staff create a magical environment where all children can fully experience daily life, have fun and feel safe. With us, the positive is central! Our pedagogical staff emphasize possibilities instead of impossibilities: we see what you can do, sometimes even before you realize it yourself.
We work with 2 baby groups (0-2 years), 1 toddler group (2.5-4 years) and 3 vertical flexible groups (0-4 years). These flexible groups enable us to connect with each child's development. Flexible care is possible from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday. We offer VVE places and work with permanent pedagogical staff who do their best every day to make all children shine.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Ukkie in Apeldoorn, part of childcare organisation Kinderopvang KOOS, was inspected on 16 December 2025 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Noord en Oost Gelderland. The location offers 16 toddler places with early childhood education and commenced operations after the summer holiday of 2024. The inspection demonstrates that the provider meets the quality requirements of the Childcare Act. Recovery action has been taken regarding the changes component: in 2024, the provider had failed to notify the municipality immediately that the location (then named Poppa) had not commenced operations after registration. The municipality of Apeldoorn issued a warning in this regard; recovery has since taken place. The pedagogical practice, early childhood education using the Startblokken method, staff qualifications, safety policy, and premises all meet the requirements. There was a discussion point regarding handwashing after nappy changing, for which immediate correction has been committed to.
