About this care
Welcome to Second Home Childcare – Location Madagascar.
When you decide to return to work, you want to be sure your child is in trusted, loving hands. A place where your child feels safe, can be themselves and develops through play. At Second Home we understand this step can feel exciting – for you and your child. That’s why we do everything we can to make sure your child feels at home with us from day one.
We proudly opened the doors of our “Madagascar” location in June 2019, situated in beautiful Noorderplassen-West, surrounded by green nature. In this modern and atmospheric building we provide daycare for children from 4 weeks to 4 years old. We work with two horizontal groups (27 places in total) so we can fully respond to each child’s developmental stage. Our childcare offers the perfect environment for young children to play, discover and grow carefree.
Our location is fully designed for rest, safety and stimulation. Each group has its own homely playroom with plenty of light, colour and play corners, a separate bedroom with individual cribs next to the group, and its own outdoor space with play equipment, bikes and plenty of play materials. Camera surveillance inside and outside and secure access with entry code provide extra safety. Inside we offer a wide range of carefully selected toys and materials suited to the different ages and developmental areas of the children. Our cook prepares a fresh, warm meal daily, tailored to the nutritional needs of young children.Read more
