About this care
Peuteropvang Sneeuwmuis is located inside De Lotus Community School in the Hoog Zandveld district, at Lupinestraat 17, Nieuwegein. We provide preschool care and early-years education for up to 32 children aged 2 to 4. Our two bright classrooms feature different play corners that invite children to explore and play either on their own or together.
We follow the Pedagogical Heart of Kind&co ludens, built on four pillars: every child should feel happy and have fun; each child is given trust and space to grow and discover; we actively offer a rich and challenging environment; and we learn to live together in a mini-society.
For early childhood education we use the Uk & Puk programme. We run two VVE groups and work closely with the primary schools in the same building. Joint activities are organised regularly and we ensure a warm hand-over from the preschool group to Year 1. Thanks to the facilities of the community school – a large kitchen, play hall, reading room and atrium – we can offer our toddlers even more opportunities.
The centre is closed during school holidays. Parents can register their child via our website.Read more

Summary
Peuteropvang Sneeuwmuis in Nieuwegein was inspected unannounced on 13 March 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Utrecht region. The location, part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens, provides early childhood education to 32 toddlers (ages 2–4) in two groups. Both the pedagogical climate and staffing and group composition meet statutory requirements. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. Staff are well-qualified, the spaces are suitably arranged for early childhood education with thematic learning areas, and the staff-to-child ratio is in order.
