"We zijn heel blij met deze opvang. De leidsters zijn heel lief voor de kinderen en geven duidelijke grenzen aan. De lokalen zien er prachtig uit en Kindergarden besteed er tijd en aandacht aan om dit prettige speelomgevingen te maken. Er zijn zelden kinderen aan het huilen of gillen en dat zegt alles over de leidsters en de sfeer."

"Our daughter transferred to this location in March when we moved areas. We deliberately looked for another Kindergarden branch even though there are other nurseries closer to our home. All the staff are very knowledgeable over child development and clearly enjoy working with the children. They helped settle our daughter and made her feel at home straight away. She has now moved on to the next age group, and we are very happy with the transition process and communications. They ensure the children have opportunities to spend some time in the new group before moving properly. They encourage the children to choose for themselves and learn new skills. Our daughter is always happy to go and loves the activities and staff alike. The warm, home cooked meals are a huge plus for us (which she loves) far better than the regular bread served eith most other nurseries. Communication is always easy with the group staff or location managers, and the app is used well to keep us up to date and share photos during the day. The Kindergarden is a popular organisation...for a good reason!"

"I can work calmly knowing that my girls are in good care"

"Een hele fijne kinderopvang. Je voelt je direct welkom doordat iedereen je begroet. Ons zoontje gaat er nu alweer 1 jaar naartoe. Alle leidsters zijn super betrokken, lief en hebben oog voor het kind. Handig is ook de app. In de app kun je het ritme van je kind zien, een verhaaltje over de dag en leuke foto's van bijv. een activiteit. Ook in de app kun je middels een berichtje communiceren met de leidsters, super fijn! Verder worden er altijd leuke activiteiten aangeboden en kan het kind, echt kind zijn! Zowel buiten als op de groepen zelf is alles ingericht om tot spel te komen. Iedere dag wordt er een verse warme lunch aangeboden, mijn zoontje eet dit altijd erg goed. Management is laagdrempelig, je kan gemakkelijk even binnenlopen voor een praatje of een vraag. Wij hebben een goede keus gemaakt voor deze opvang!"

"Hele fijne kinderopvang. Alles ziet er netjes uit en is goed geregeld. Goede communicatie met de ouders. Lieve medewerkers, er worden leuke activiteiten met de kinderen gedaan. Ons dochtertje gaat er met plezier naar toe!"

"I have had nothing but good experiences here at Kindergarden Hugo de Groot. (My eldest also attended another location, which we were also very positive about, but I will focus here on Hugo de Groot.) My eldest went here for 4 days per week, from approximately 4 months to 4 years old. And my youngest just started one week ago. Everyone who works here is simultaneously professional, authentic and clearly passionate about what they do. (They also really seem to enjoy working together, and the turnover seems quite low, so I consider that a sign of a good workplace as well.) I have never doubted that people watching my kids *genuinely* care about them and enjoy what they're doing. That is, above all else, the thing I wanted most in a daycare. Next to that, the pedagogic approach is something that speaks to me. To raise independent world citizens who are comfortable and confident just being themselves...I mean, every parent's dream, right? And it's not just talk. I really felt that my daughter was supported in being herself, while also learning how to navigate relationships and groups. She was also given a lot of space to explore, be it behaviorally or artistically. I like that they weren't too directive, but more gently nudging, or better yet just inspiring with options. (That means the artwork that comes home isn't always museum-worthy, but at least it came straight from your kid!) Oh yeah, and the app used to keep you up to speed throughout the day is a great peek into the life of your littles and what they're up to. The space is also wonderful. The building has lots of lights, the rooms are well suited to the needs of the kids and teachers, and the yard (while small) never disappointed my daughter. I like that the furniture and toys stimulate creativity and imagination. l you wooden toy families will appreciate their interior and entertainment choices, I'm sure. Once the kitchen goes and in and warm lunch becomes part of the routine, I will give the facilities a solid 👍👍 Administration is also important of course. The leadership on site has always been consistently strong. As a person who can hardly remember my own face and name, I'm impressed that everyone always seems to know who I am and have a smile to spare. I am a chatterbox, and they never seem annoyed by my inability to control myself when dropping off or picking up my offspring. Last but not least...as a foreign mother with a Dutch partner, I wanted a daycare that at least had *some* English language influence and general diversity. While Benny the English puppet doesn't lead to fluency, it's nice to have the exposure. And while there is not so much visible racial diversity (hard to find in Delft in general), there has been quite a mix of kids from different backgrounds/with parents from other countries. Another Kindergarden location is bilingual, and I would have loved to see that here as well, but it was sufficient. All in all, I'd recommend this daycare to anyone. My kids have always loved going, and my daughter still speaks about her teachers, even after six months in school. I checked many of the hot daycare spots before choosing this one, and I have never regretted my choice."

"Hele fijne opvang voor onze kinderen. Leidsters zijn allemaal even aardig en zorgzaam en hebben veel aandacht voor de kinderen. Ook zeer flexibel en behulpzaam. Ik zou de locatie absoluut aanraden!"

"Geweldige kinderopvang. Onze zoon heeft ongeveer 4 jaar op de kinderopvang gezeten, en geniet nu van de BSO!"
