Zonnestraal, Christelijk Reformatorisch Kinderdagverblijf

Welcome to KDV Zonnestraal, our Christian-Reformed daycare centre at Arnelaan 57 in Middelburg. The centre is located within the Bommes location, in the Stromenwijk neighbourhood, with an entrance on the right side of the building. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 in one vertical group with 3 permanent pedagogical professionals. Siblings and friends of different ages play and learn together in a quiet street near a park and shops, with a beautiful, challenging garden full of play and discovery opportunities. Our bright, calm space is designed at child height, with low furniture, low chairs, low tables and low cupboards with toys at eye level. Each morning begins with a predictable routine: we sing the welcome song, talk about the weather and start the day. During play we focus on language development by naming objects, reading picture books and singing songs. Creative activities such as drawing, crafting and sand and water play are offered regularly, and we encourage natural curiosity through outdoor play in our garden with outdoor kitchen, sandbox and slide. For the youngest children we have a spacious floor box where babies can roll over and crawl in peace. We provide calm and regularity and create a pleasant atmosphere in the group. Together with play friend Bas, we playfully stimulate children's development. Our pedagogical professionals know every child personally and follow the principle 'do it yourself': we offer help when needed, yet give space to discover and learn independently. Fixed drop-off and pick-up times: drop-off is possible between 7.30-9.00 am and 12.30-1.15 pm, pick-up between 12.30-1.15 pm and 4.30-6.00 pm. Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm (from 08-05-2026 also on Friday). Parents have access with a personal tag and are welcome to walk in at any time. When leaving, parents receive the child's file so that development continues seamlessly to the next step.
