Stichting Doomijn

What Stichting Doomijn does

Stichting Doomijn is a Dutch non-profit childcare organization headquartered in Zwolle, operating as the childcare label within the Stichting Travers social impact foundation. Doomijn delivers daycare (dagopvang) for children aged 0-4, after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4-12, and toddler care (peuteropvang) with integrated preschool education elements, including VVE (Voor- en Vroegschoolse Educatie) programs for children with language delays. The organization employs over 900 staff, serves more than 10,000 children daily, supports roughly 6,000 parents and grandparents, and operates approximately 100 physical locations distributed across the Zwolle region and surrounding areas including Apeldoorn, Groningen, Harderwijk, and Ommen.

The organization functions within the regulated Dutch childcare framework, with revenue derived from parental fees and government childcare allowance (Kinderopvangtoeslag) administered via the Belastingdienst, supplemented by municipal cooperation agreements and subsidies. As part of the Travers group, Doomijn shares centralized support functions — including HR, IT (Microsoft 365 with Copilot, TOPdesk servicedesk), finance, and pedagogy — with sister organizations in welfare, culture, and volunteering. Leadership consists of Strategisch Manager Daan van Rooijen for Doomijn, operating under the Travers Raad van Bestuur (J.M.J. Timmerman and E.I.M. Rooijers) and Raad van Toezicht. The Travers parent retains ANBI (public benefit) status, while Doomijn's separate ANBI designation expired in October 2021.
