About this care
Welcome to PSG Montessori De Plotter, our daycare centre located at Paulus Potterstraat 4a in the heart of Zutphen. We provide care for up to 40 children aged 0 to 4 years, following the authentic Montessori vision. Our pedagogical staff are trained in the Montessori method and guide each child along an individual developmental path. We give children the freedom to discover the world in their own way, using self-correcting materials that stimulate all the senses.
Our groups are vertically structured: children of different ages are together, allowing younger children to learn from older ones and older children to learn to lead. We implement an early childhood education programme (VVE) aligned with Montessori principles: children receive personal instruction and may choose from a rich range of activities. We are open 52 weeks a year from 7:00 to 18:30, so parents can access flexible childcare.
Everything we do revolves around the child. We believe every child is unique and that it is important for children to learn that they are good just as they are. Through personal contact with parents and family involvement, we work together to raise independent, confident children. We warmly invite you to come and visit our location and experience the atmosphere for yourself.Read more

Summary
PSG Montessori De Plotter in Zutphen provides daycare (dagopvang) for up to 40 children in three home groups (baby/toddler, two toddler groups). The location runs a 'toddlers among the preschoolers' pilot: 3-year-olds may join a preschool group for three mornings per week for 1.5 hours, with one pedagogical staff member who rotates. The pedagogical climate is experienced as safe, warm and stimulating; children are given room for their own choices, theme-based materials and outdoor play. All qualified staff, interns and work-based learning (BBL) students hold a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG), appropriate diploma (including infant training) and meet the IKK language requirement. The qualified staff-to-child ratio was in order at the time of inspection; attendance lists and schedules show structurally sufficient staffing. A backup carer is arranged and a pedagogical coach/policy officer is available for support and policy development. Parents are informed via website, app, intake and policy documents; complaints are handled in writing within six weeks. In 2024, the organisation received no official complaints ('Geschilvrij' certificate). The municipality is advised to take no enforcement measures.
