Filimo Kindcentrum

What Filimo Kindcentrum does

Filimo Kindcentrum is a privately held Dutch childcare operator founded in 2015 and owned by Madelon van Daelen. The company runs three physical locations in Nijmegen, Netherlands — the main Jacob van Campenstraat site, Filimo Lanteerne on Henry Dunantstraat (co-located with basisschool De Lanteerne), and Filimo SportQube (a sports-only BSO housed in the SportQube sports complex) — together providing daycare (KDV), after-school care (BSO), and pre-school care (VSO) for children from 10 weeks to 13 years, with licensed capacity for approximately 106 children. The brand identity, derived from Latin 'filios' (children) and 'move' (movement), is built around a holistic child-development concept combining organic meals, an on-site vegetable garden, the proprietary Gymkids movement program (with a beweegdiploma), sports clinics in 10+ disciplines, and certified toddler yoga.

The business model is direct-to-consumer subscription childcare billed hourly, with 52-week, 48-week, 40-week, and 12-week (holiday-only) packages priced at €11.04-€12.46/hour for BSO and €11.59/hour for KDV, plus usage-based extended care at €7.59-€7.96 per half hour. Day-swapping within conditions and free two-session trial days are offered. Go-to-market is local and community-driven: the website (filimo.nl), the Kidskonnect/Flexkids online enrollment platform, an active Parent Committee (Oudercommissie), word-of-mouth referrals, and publicly available GGD inspection reports. Filimo is a member of the Klachtenloket Kinderopvang and operates under a single owner structure with no external investors, no funding history, and no public revenue disclosure.
