About this care
Welcome to Zowiezo Childcare Heerhugowaard, located at Deimoslaan 4 in Heerhugowaard. We are a small-scale daycare centre offering a warm, homely environment for children aged 0 to 4. Our building provides ample indoor space for safe play and discovery while maintaining the cosy, intimate atmosphere that parents and children appreciate. Outside, children can enjoy our private playground.
To support early development, we implement the recognised Early Childhood Education (ECE) programme Uk & Puk. This programme provides playful educational activities focused on language development, social-emotional growth and motor skills, preparing children for primary school in a fun way.
Our experienced childcare professionals give each child personal attention every day. We are open five days a week from 06:30 to 18:30, fitting the schedules of working parents. Fixed drop-off times are from 06:30 to 09:00, allowing us to start the day calmly and give every child the attention they deserve.
At Zowiezo Heerhugowaard, the child is central in a safe, pleasant place where development and well-being go hand in hand.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection on 16 July 2026 at ZoWieZo Kinderopvang Heerhugowaard initially revealed two violations in the pedagogical policy plan and the deployment of the pedagogical policy worker. After a recovery offer of one week, the provider remedied both shortcomings. The pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) registration did meet requirements immediately. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
