Kwetternest

Kwetternest is a small-scale playgroup located in a secluded corner on the grounds of children’s farm De Veenweide, in the Overhees district.

There is one cosy common room and a playground. The youngest toddlers come to the morning group. Is your child 3 years old? Then he/she is welcome at the afternoon group where the 3 to 4 year olds are being prepared for school!

What makes playgroup Kwetternest special?

  • Fixed, recognisable activity programme, which provides stability;
  • Two familiar, qualified pedagogical employees;
  • Separate afternoon group where the 3 to 4 year olds are being prepared for school
  • Plenty of safe room for playing indoors as well as outdoors.

The advantages of the afternoon group (3 to 4 years of age)

  • The children are offered different play materials and more depth in the themes that are presented. They are further in their development and can therefore better concentrate for longer periods of time. For example, if we are discussing colors, we can also discuss hues, from lighter to darker shades. We have suitable play materials that we use to do so.
  • We have more time to develop a child’s independence, such as, for example, by learning how to put on and take off your coat or shoes, or going to the toilet by yourself.
  • We spend a lot of time developing fine motor skills, such as learning how to cut with scissors, the right grip to use when writing with a pencil or painting with a brush, using a toy hammer to drive in small nails and using a puncture pen and mat to cut out shapes.
  • The children are given more challenging activities to stimulate their development. Playing together is also encouraged by putting the older children together in one group.

Veelgestelde vragen

How can I register my child?

For our daycare centres, ou-of school care and playgroups you can register online or contact our customer service employees via 035 683 44 99 between 9 a.m. and 4. p.m. They can immediately look at the availability and establish whether this matches your requirements. 

I have applied for three days of childcare, but one day in the short term would also help me. Is that possible?

Due to the staff shortage in childcare, the waiting time for childcare has increased considerably. We fully understand that this is frustrating for parents. Where possible, we do our best to accommodate parents. Should there be partial availability on the days you requested childcare, or space on other days, we will let you know as well.

When can I register my child for daycare?

You can register your child for daycare as soon as the expected date of birth is known. Our customer advice staff will contact you to discuss the options for your child.
