Kindertuin Westzaan

What Kindertuin Westzaan does

Kindertuin Westzaan en Assendelft is a privately operated, registered childcare organization (erkende kinderopvangorganisatie) serving families in the Zaanstreek region of North Holland, Netherlands. It operates two physical sites: a Kinderdagverblijf (daycare) for children aged 0-4 in a converted fire station at Zuideinde 22 in Westzaan (capacity 12 children), and Naschoolse Opvang (after-school care) for children aged 4-12 at the same Westzaan site (capacity 20 children, 50 weeks/year) and at the Wij-Land school building in Assendelft (capacity 22 children, 40 school weeks/year). All three locations are registered in the Landelijk Register Kinderopvang, which enables parents to claim the Dutch Wet Kinderopvang childcare allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag).

The organization employs approximately seven staff led by Miriam Boerema, who is the principal contact, primary website author, and Triple P advisor. Operations are administered through Portabase, which provides parents with personal accounts for scheduling, invoicing, and document access via phone and computer. The pedagogical approach blends Reggio Emilia, Rudolf Steiner, and Triple P methodologies, codified in published policy documents and subject to annual GGD Zaanstreek-Waterland inspections. The company is also an SBB-recognized learning company for childcare internships at levels 2, 3, and 4.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through recurring childcare fees billed monthly, with 2026 hourly rates of €11.23 for full-day daycare and €9.98 for before- and after-school care, both set at the maximum government subsidy rate. Go-to-market is community-led: word-of-mouth referrals among local parents, visibility through partnerships with Wij-Land, Rank, and Kroosduiker schools, and a professional website (kindertuin.nu). An active Oudercommissie (parent committee) meets quarterly. The service portfolio was expanded in 2019 (NSO Westzaan) and 2022 (50-week coverage at Westzaan); the Voor-schoolse Opvang (before-school care) is currently suspended and PeuterSpelen (toddler playgroups) is indefinitely postponed.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• KION: Regional Dutch childcare provider operating KDV and BSO locations in Gelderland/Overijssel. Comparable in offering KDV and after-school care under the same Dutch regulatory regime, but serves a different geography than Kindertuin.
• Berend Botje: Regional Dutch childcare organization active in North Holland, offering KDV and BSO services under the same LRK framework. Geographically adjacent to Kindertuin's Zaanstreek footprint and directly comparable in service lines, though larger in scale.

Broad incumbents

• Smallsteps: National Dutch childcare chain offering KDV and BSO programs under the same LRK regulatory structure. Directly comparable in service portfolio, but operates as a broad incumbent across many regions rather than a single community-rooted operator.
• Partou: One of the largest Dutch childcare organizations, operating KDV and BSO locations nationwide under the same Wet Kinderopvang regulatory framework. Comparable to Kindertuin in service mix (daycare plus after-school care), but vastly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Kibeo: Regional Dutch childcare provider with extensive KDV and BSO operations in Zuid-Holland. Comparable service mix and reliance on the KOT-subsidy system, but materially larger in scale and regional rather than local in scope.
• Humankind: Large Dutch childcare and youth-services organization providing KDV, BSO, and pedagogical programs nationally. Comparable service set and Dutch regulatory exposure, but substantially larger scale and broader portfolio.
