About this care
Welcome to TumTum childcare, located at Utrechtstraat 112 in Alphen aan den Rijn. We are a small-scale daycare centre that welcomes up to nine children aged 0 to 4 at a time. Our modest size allows us to give every child the personal, loving care they deserve in a homely atmosphere.
We work with vertical groups, bringing together babies, toddlers and preschoolers in one shared space. The little ones learn from the bigger children, while the older kids practise empathy and responsibility. Both child and parent should feel safe and welcome at TumTum; parents are always free to step inside, join in play or simply watch their child’s day unfold.
Our setting has been officially registered since 2 October 2019 and is inspected by the municipal health service (GGD). Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. For more information or to schedule a visit, please call 06 87775007 or visit www.kinderopvangtumtum.nl.

Super fijn
Ontzettend tevreden over de opvang. Kleinschalig en betrokken, elke keer wordt er wat leuks verzonnen voor de kinderen. Onze dochter moest even wennen...
great K.J. I have visited the place and it looks just like the perfect place for kids to build a beautiful memories at!
