About this care
Welcome to VANDAAG KDV Natuur-rijk, our small-scale daycare center located at Noorderdwarsvaart 84e in Drachten. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 0-4 years and have been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since December 20, 2023. As a franchise location of VANDAAG Childcare, we operate according to their quality standards while being locally managed by an independent entrepreneur.
Everything we do revolves around nature and sustainability. Children go outside all year round – from enjoying sunshine to playing in the rain. They get to put their hands in the soil, push boundaries, and learn through discovery. Our outdoor space features a barefoot path, vegetable garden, and picking garden where children playfully learn about nature and sustainability.
In addition to our beautiful, challenging outdoor space, we also have a bright, spacious indoor area where children can play and discover to their heart's content. Being a small-scale daycare, we can provide personal attention to each child. We believe children learn best through play and discovery, while respecting each child's unique personality and talents.
Our location is easily accessible and open Monday through Friday from 07:30 to 18:30. Upon request, we can provide care from 06:30 onwards. We take pride in being a place where children don't need to be afraid of getting dirty hands and where they can fully enjoy everything nature has to offer.Read more
