"**Very disappointing experience** Our son started at this daycare when he was just 7 months old. He attended for around four months, but unfortunately, during that entire period, he never really settled in. We were initially told that he would start with shorter days and that his hours would gradually be increased as he became more comfortable. However, even after four months, he was still only allowed to stay for around 3–4 hours. We requested several times that his hours be extended, as we felt that spending more time there would help him gradually adjust, but this did not happen. We were regularly told that he was “sad” at daycare. To be clear, it was not that he was crying continuously throughout the day. However, we received frequent messages about him being sad or needing more attention. We also felt that there was an expectation for him to sleep independently and entertain himself from the beginning, without much support during the settling-in period. On several occasions, we were told that there were fewer staff members available and that one person could not give him the attention he needed. As first-time parents, sending our baby to daycare was already an emotional and difficult step. Instead of feeling that we were working together with the daycare to help him settle, we increasingly felt that the responsibility was being placed on our child to adapt to the daycare's routine. Eventually, after four months with very little progress, we decided to move him to another daycare. The difference has been remarkable. At his new daycare, he started staying for full days from the second week. He eats, sleeps, plays and interacts happily there. This experience made us realise that the issue was not that our child was incapable of settling into daycare. We simply needed an environment where he received the patience, reassurance and individual attention he needed during the transition. Our personal experience was that this daycare seemed more suitable for children who could quickly adapt to its existing routine, rather than providing the additional support some younger children may need while settling in. We are genuinely relieved that we made the decision to leave and found a daycare that is a much better fit for our son. Based on our experience, we unfortunately would not recommend this daycare to other parents, particularly those sending their baby to daycare for the first time. I hope other parents have a more positive experience, but I also hope that our feedback encourages the daycare to consider how they can better support babies who need more time, comfort and individual attention while settling in."

"Ontzettend leuk kinderdagverblijf met jonge enthousiaste leidsters. Ze verzinnen steeds andere leuke activiteiten. Zijn flexibel en staan er open voor als iets een beetje anders gaat dan gewend. Onze zoon met een mic-key button (sonde) voelt zich hier heel welkom."

"Kinderen met een achterstand zijn helaas niet welkom"
