About this care
Kind&co Ludens is a childcare organization dedicated to providing equal development opportunities for all children. We believe every child should have the space to follow their curiosity and discover the world for themselves. Our pedagogical approach, the 'Pedagogisch Hart' (Pedagogical Heart), is at the center of our daily activities and interactions with children.
We offer a safe and stimulating environment where children from 0 to 12 years can develop. Our activities focus on promoting children's social, emotional and cognitive development. We do this through structured learning activities, outdoor play, music and movement, and arts and crafts. We also pay special attention to language development, with reading aloud and interactive reading moments playing an important role.
At Kind&co Ludens, we believe it's important that children feel comfortable in their environment. That's why we create a warm and inviting atmosphere, where every child can develop at their own pace. Our staff are well-trained and attentive to the unique talents and needs of each child. We work together with parents and the community to create a strong foundation for children's development. Interested parents are most welcome to request a tour and learn more about our facilities and activities.Read more

Summary
Kinderdagverblijf Zuilen (part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens) is temporarily housed at OBS De Ludgerschool in Utrecht and provides care for 14 children. The inspection on 7 May 2025 showed that the location meets the quality requirements following a recovery offer. Strong points are the warm pedagogical climate, the engaged interaction between staff and children, the good layout of the space, and the provision of pre-school education. There were shortcomings in the area of hygiene: a bin without a lid, an unclean changing mat, and washing up on the changing table. These have been resolved after the recovery offer. No violations were identified. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
