About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Kesteren, a warm and homely childcare location of RivaKids located at Hoofdstraat 38 in the heart of Kesteren. Our beautiful characteristic building provides a safe haven for children aged 0 to 4 years, where each child is given the space to grow and flourish at their own pace.
Everything we do revolves around creating an inspiring environment where children feel safe and secure. We work with the VVE program Uk and Puk, through which we support your child's development through play. Together with Puk, the children experience the most wonderful adventures - we build houses, bake cookies, sing songs and listen to exciting stories. These activities are carefully designed to stimulate your child's language development, social skills and creativity.
Our accommodation exudes a homely atmosphere, with group spaces furnished with various play corners that match the children's development. The spacious, green garden offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and nature experiences. Everything around your child is well arranged: from the toys to the guidance, from the sleeping areas to the care corners.
Kinderdagverblijf Kesteren is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, excluding official holidays and our annual study day. We offer both full and half-day care, allowing us to flexibly respond to your needs as working parents. Our team of professional childcare workers is ready every day to guide your child with love and expertise during this important phase of their development.Read more
