At this location, we have four vertical mixed-age groups for children aged 0 to 4. In these groups, babies, toddlers, and preschoolers grow up together. We consciously choose this group structure because children in a group with different ages learn from each other in a natural way and can develop at their own pace.
In a vertical group, children are given the space to experience different roles. Younger children observe the older children and acquire new skills through play. As they get older, they discover how to be considerate of younger children, for example by helping, comforting, or playing together. As a result, children learn to be caring and treat each other respectfully from an early age.
At the same time, there is also room throughout the day for rest and age-appropriate moments. Due to the children's various sleep and rest periods, natural moments regularly arise when, for example, only the babies are present in the group, or conversely, only the toddlers and preschoolers. During these moments, pedagogical professionals can better align with the developmental stage, play, and needs of the children who are awake at that time.
A major advantage of a vertical group is the calm and continuity it offers children. Children remain in the same familiar group and with the same pedagogical professionals throughout their entire childcare period. As a result, they only need to adjust once and can develop in a safe and recognizable environment.
The children are part of one of four fixed core groups: Sol, Maysa, Rio, and Fae, each with a maximum of 16 children per day. They play in a familiar group room and regularly see the same friends. In addition, they are supervised by the same pedagogical professionals over an extended period. This ensures stability and gives children the opportunity to build a close bond with both the other children and the staff.
In this way, we create a warm, stable, and trustworthy environment in which children feel safe and can develop optimally.
Opening hours
At Villa Vipkids Daycare, we are open on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Parents can drop off their child in the morning between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM. Children can be picked up between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM.
Our daycare center is open all year round, with the exception of a few official holidays.
The daily program starts at 9:30 AM. We appreciate it if children are brought before this time, so that we can all start the day calmly together.
During drop-off, there is ample time for a personal handover. Parents can read a book with their child, do a puzzle, or say goodbye quietly. This ensures a relaxed start to the day for every child.
If your child will be absent for a day, for example due to illness or another reason, we kindly ask you to inform us before 9:30 AM. You can do this by phone or via our parent app.
Standard rate: €12,23 per euro 5-day rate: €12,00 per hour* We have a reduced rate for children who attend childcare 5 days a week.

Many parents are entitled to childcare allowance through the Tax and Customs Administration. This reimburses a large part of the costs, ensuring that childcare remains affordable. The amount of the allowance depends on your income, the number of children, and the number of childcare hours.
For questions about the childcare allowance, you can contact the Tax and Customs Administration via www.taxdienst.nl or by phone via 0800 - 0543.
Social Medical Indication (SMI)
Sometimes, childcare can be especially important due to social or medical circumstances. If your child qualifies for the SMI scheme, the municipality fully reimburses childcare costs for a maximum number of days per week, often two days. At Kinderdagverblijf Vipkids, it is possible to care for children with an SMI indication, ensuring they can participate in our childcare safely and with proper care, without you having to worry about the costs.
Would you like to know if your situation qualifies or would you like to apply for an SMI? Then click on the link below for more information and feel free to contact your municipality; they can explain exactly how to arrange this.
You will immediately see how we work, how warm the atmosphere is, and how we give every child personal attention. We are happy to answer all your questions over a cup of coffee.
