About this care
Welcome to Stichting Kinderopvang Urk, located in the Kindcentrum at Slenk 1a in Urk. We provide childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years in a safe, educational, and enjoyable environment. Our goal is for every child to feel heard and seen, with space to develop into independent individuals.
Our location features 6 classrooms and 19 toddler groups with a maximum of 16 children per group. We believe every child is unique and carries many possibilities within them. Our expert pedagogical staff respond to the needs of each child and provide a trusted foundation for learning and growing.
We create a stimulating environment where children can play, discover, and learn. Our activities are tailored to the developmental stage of young children, focusing on language development, nature exploration, and creative expression. The outdoor space offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and discovery.
As a foundation, we have been a reliable partner in local youth policy in Urk since 1978. We work closely with parents and other stakeholders, because raising a child takes a village. Our mission is to work together with parents to give their child the best start in their development.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection of 13 May 2026 of KDV Stichting Kinderopvang Urk (location Kindcentrum) presents a predominantly positive picture. Pedagogical practice is good, with a relaxed atmosphere and engaged staff who work in accordance with policy. The preschool education offer using the Startblokken method meets all requirements. However, one violation was identified: an external speech therapist was not registered in the Childcare Persons Register and not linked to the holder before commencing her work. Following a recovery offer, registration was subsequently completed (22 May 2026), but the mandatory linkage prior to commencement of work could no longer be remedied. The accommodation is suitable, although the number of registered childcare places (112) must be adjusted to 96 due to available space.
