Kinderdagverblijf Het Boerderijtje

What Kinderdagverblijf Het Boerderijtje does

Kinderdagverblijf Het Boerderijtje is a privately held Dutch childcare center (kinderdagverblijf) located on a working farm at Het Linschot 2b in Bornerbroek, Overijssel, Netherlands. Founded in 2014 and operating as a Vennootschap onder Firma (VOF, Dutch general partnership), the facility provides day-care services for children aged 0–4 across two vertical groups — the Geitjes group and the Lammetjes group — each with a maximum capacity of 16 children, yielding a hard daily cap of 32 children. The center is differentiated by its farm setting, offering direct interaction with chickens, ponies, and rabbits, an outdoor play meadow, and a nature-based daily programme including structured activities, circle time, lunch, rest periods, and animal care.

The business is owned and directed by Sabine Jannink, who also serves as the Klachtencoördinator (complaints coordinator). An eight-person staff roster supports operations, including pedagogical professionals and substitute staff (invalkrachten). Operations are governed by the Dutch Wet Kinderopvang (Childcare Act), with mandatory LRK registration and annual GGD inspections; the most recent inspection report is dated 12 March 2025, continuing an unbroken inspection record dating to May 2014. The business also maintains an Oudercommissie (Parent Committee) of three parent representatives established in September 2014 to provide parental input on policy. No proprietary technology is described; the center relies on third-party platforms KDVnet (external registration) and KOVnet (parent login/communications) for administration.

Revenue is generated through recurring subscription contracts offered in four tiers — 51-, 47-, 44-, and 40-week options priced at €10.25, €10.38, €10.51, and €10.66 per hour respectively — billed monthly via averaged twelve-month payments and inclusive of diapers, food, and snacks. A minimum of two half-day sessions per child per week is required, and the center operates Monday–Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. Distribution is purely direct-to-consumer via the KDVnet portal, organic web traffic, word-of-mouth referrals, and phone or email inquiries, with no paid advertising, intermediaries, or multi-site operations. A pricing revision across all tiers is scheduled to take effect 1 January 2026.

Core offering

Kinderdagverblijf Het Boerderijtje operates a registered Dutch child daycare center (kinderdagverblijf) located on a working farm in Bornerbroek, providing full-day and half-day care for children aged 0-4. The service includes meals, snacks, and diapers, and offers daily routines of circle time, lunch, rest, and structured indoor and outdoor activities, with a distinctive farm and nature component featuring animal interactions (chickens, ponies, rabbits) and a play meadow. Care is organized into two vertical groups (Geitjes and Lammetjes, max 16 children each) under four contract tiers (51-, 47-, 44-, or 40-week options).

Product overview

Kinderdagverblijf Het Boerderijtje is a traditional daycare center for children aged 0-4 years, not a technology product. The center offers a single core service of farm-based childcare, structured into two vertical groups (Geitjes and Lammetjes), with a combined daily capacity of 32 children. The service includes flexible contract options (51, 47, 44, or 40 weeks) and farm-themed activities. The company operates through its own website and internal management systems (KOVnet parent app) rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

Direct peers

• Humankind Kinderopvang: Large Dutch childcare provider (formerly known as Kinderopvang Humankind) with many kinderdagverblijf locations. Comparable LRK-registered group-care delivery model for the 0-4 age range.
• Gro-up: Major Dutch childcare and youth organization offering kinderdagverblijf services comparable to Het Boerderijtje. Operates within the same Dutch childcare law (Wet Kinderopvang) framework and serves the same parent demographic.
• BLOS kinderopvang: Dutch regional daycare chain operating kinderdagverblijven across multiple provinces. Direct competitor in the same regulatory and pricing environment with overlapping target market of families with young children.
• Partou: Largest Dutch daycare chain (kinderdagverblijf) with hundreds of locations nationwide. Same core service (child daycare, ages 0-4), same Dutch LRK-regulated environment, and similar hourly pricing model - though at much larger scale and without the farm-based differentiation.
• Kids Foundation (Stichting Kids Foundation): Dutch foundation operating a portfolio of kinderdagverblijven with similar group-based 0-4 care, comparable pricing model, and shared regulatory regime. Represents a typical Dutch daycare chain competitor profile.

Broad incumbents

• Skol - Schools of Tomorrow: European early childhood education operator with locations in multiple countries. Comparable only at the broad industry level - offers nursery/kindergarten services in the same category but not a direct Dutch competitor.

Emerging players

• Kinderopvang Pikler Nederland: Smaller Dutch daycare/pedagogical organization offering center-based ECEC following the Pikler approach. Comparable in scale and philosophy to Het Boerderijtje but differentiated by pedagogical method rather than setting.
• Forest School Foundation (UK): UK-led organization promoting outdoor and nature-based early childhood education. Conceptually closest international peer to Het Boerderijtje's farm/nature positioning, though focused on school-age outdoor learning rather than daycare.
• Bush Kinder (Australia): Australian nature-immersion early childhood program operating in outdoor and bush settings. Comparable concept to Het Boerderijtje's farm/nature model - both compete on outdoor-pedagogy differentiation rather than scale.

Others

• Gastouderopvang Nederland: National network and software platform for host-parent (gastouder) daycare in the Netherlands. Connected to the same Dutch childcare regulatory framework and partially substitutes for center-based daycare, but operates a different family-based delivery model.
