"Wat gaan wij deze geweldige dames missen. Helaas moeten we vanwege een verhuizing vroegtijdig afscheid nemen van Madelief, maar wat hebben zij ons zoontje (en daarmee ons) een mooie tijd gegeven. Ze begeleiden met aandacht, zorg en liefde en dat zien we terug in hoe gek ons kind ook op hen was. Ze maken soms net dat stapje extra voor de kinderen waardoor het heel persoonlijk voelt. Iets waar je als ouder alleen maar op kunt hopen als je een opvang zoekt. Ze gaven ons ook het gevoel dat alles bespreekbaar was, wat heel fijn was. Je ziet ook dat ze onderling veel plezier hebben met elkaar en dat het echt een hecht team is. Meiden, jullie zijn fantastisch!"

"We have been really happy with the daycare. Our daughter has attended for 2,5 years and loves it. The staff are very attentive and caring. And we see the same faces week after week. Overall very happy."

"Geweldige opvang! Lieve mensen, veel aandacht voor hun kindjes en alles altijd tip top verzorgd. Absolute aanrader."

"Beste kinderopvang mijn 2 kinderen waren daar en ze hebben leuke dingen gedaan hele aardige mensen."

"Had a tour planned, went there… and there was no one. I called, and they told me they were in a city tour… and no one bothered to tell me before that the tour wouldn’t take place. Having a new born makes you do the impossible to have some things on the agenda, and this people seem to not care much. Big, big disappointment."

"Top opvang organisatie! Er is elke dag een leuke activiteit, van buiten spelen tot lezen of creatieve knutselwerkjes. We merken dat onze dochter zich zowel sociaal als cognitief goed ontwikkelt. Het is een fijne plek voor haar om nieuwe dingen te leren, en wij hebben vertrouwen in de zorg en aandacht die ze daar krijgt. We raden dit kinderdagverblijf van harte aan!"

"We zijn heel blij met madelief! Geweldige plek voor onze kleintje, huiselijk en liefdevol. Elke dag warm eten 😀"

"UPDATE: I was invited to watch and discuss what I saw. I was pleased to see that my concern was taken seriously. I understand that the teacher I saw had a hard time settling the baby the entire morning and the baby was 10kg which is why she had to pick him up the way she did. I am pleased they took my concern seriously and they discussed with teachers to not wait until you get too overwhelmed with a baby. ________ I was passing by this Madelief daycare. As I was looking inside while passing I saw one of the workers aggressively picking up a baby (looked less than 7 months, was on tummy time) and literally threw him in an inclined chair on wheels and pushed the chair away. As a mom of a 6months old this really disturbed me. I stopped and looked at them so they could see I saw it all. There were other workers there who saw this. They just turned towards the window when I guess someone noticed I was looking at them. A few minutes later I called the daycare and told them what I just saw. There were no follow up questions or signs of concern, they just told me to google the email for their management. I flagged this to GGD Inspection and on mama groups. It's already hard to let our little ones at daycare, but to see this kind of behaviour is terrifying."

"Our oldest son went to Madelief for 4 years and our youngest has been there for 2 years now. They are so sweet to our boys and you can tell they really love the kids. They serve healthy, hot meals and always have nice activities for the kids. The groups are small, and the communication is easy. We have been very happy with our experience."

"Our little boy goes to Madelief from 5 months old, and our experience is great! Ladies there are sweet and attentive, they are very nice with our little boy, he always smiles when we bring him in. He is in the group with kids till 2 years, and it’s incredible to see how fast he develops. I’m sure it’s because of a bit older kids around, he is very social now, and loves to play with others."

"Madelief is een hele fijne opvang, kleinschalig met hele fijne leidsters."
