About this care
Welcome to Spetter, our daycare center in the heart of Venlo-Zuid. We are located in a brand new, sustainable building at Pastoor Op Heijstraat 26, where we work together with primary school De Zuidstroom under one roof. This unique location offers children aged 0 to 4 a familiar and safe environment to play, discover and grow.
Our group rooms are carefully designed with different play areas, each with its own theme. For the little ones, we have quiet corners where they can safely sleep and play. The spaces provide tranquility and the opportunity to play in a smaller, safe environment. We have taken into account the specific needs of babies and toddlers, so every child feels at home quickly.
Outside, children can enjoy playing in our green environment. The outdoor playground is safely enclosed and offers plenty of opportunities to romp, discover and enjoy the fresh air. The natural environment stimulates children's imagination and joy of movement.
We work closely with primary school De Zuidstroom. Doors are literally open and children can play together and participate in activities. This connection makes the transition to primary school later smoother and more familiar for your child.
As part of Spring Kinderopvang, we guarantee professional childcare with the development of each child at the center. Our pedagogical staff are well trained and attentive to the individual needs of each child. We offer both full days and half days of care, tailored to what best suits your family situation.
At Spetter, we create a warm, homely atmosphere where your child feels safe and loved. We warmly invite you to come take a look and experience how wonderful it is to be part of our Spetter family.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
When your child is about to start, a staff member from the location will contact you for an intake interview to get acquainted. During this conversation, the settling-in days (wenperiode) are discussed and scheduled, so that your child can gradually get used to the new environment.
Sick child policy
At Spring, we follow the guideline: if it is responsible to do so, your child may come. The illness must not pose a danger to other children, staff members, or your child themselves. Your child's condition must allow them to be cared for in a group setting. If in doubt, it is best to consult with the staff at your location.
