About Villa Eigenwijs

Play, learn, grow – completely unique!

Welcome to Villa Eigenwijs in Gennep!
We are a welcoming, home-like childcare center where every child can be themselves. With us, every child has the space to discover, grow, and flourish – at their own pace.

We offer daycare for babies and toddlers, as well as before- and after-school care for older children. And we do this 52 weeks a year, with love, attention, and lots of fun.

In our sensory garden, children can play outside, explore, and learn from nature. This way, we turn every day into a little adventure full of wonder.

Our vision
At our center, every child is our priority. We believe every child is unique and has the right to develop in their own way. That's why we offer a structured program that supports all developmental stages – from first steps to the little discoveries of everyday life. With us, every child feels safe and secure in a homely atmosphere, with familiar faces who know and guide them. Together, we create a place where learning, playing, and growing go hand in hand.
Our method
We guide children's growth with warmth and care. We also offer space and support for multilingual children. In a safe and familiar environment, we work on their development through play, focusing on self-confidence, independence, and playing together. This way, we prepare them for a good start in primary school!

These are the reasons why parents choose Villa Eigenwijs:

 

All under one roof

We are a childcare facility that offers daycare, preschool and after-school care – all in one familiar location, with familiar faces for the children.

 

52 weeks of childcare per year

We are also there for your child during holidays, study days and school closures (with the exception of the designated days off, of course).

 

Customised contracts

No standard package, but care tailored to your situation. Flexible and personalized.

 

Holiday care

Do you only need childcare during the school holidays? We offer a special holiday contract for this. This makes it easy to arrange for your child to stay with us during the holidays, but unfortunately, only if there's room.

 

The same amount every month

Flexible childcare with a fixed monthly fee. It's clear and eliminates the hassle of childcare allowance adjustments.

 

Healthy meals - every day

Breakfast, lunch, fruit, and hot dinner – all hot meals are freshly prepared. All mealtimes are included in the hourly rate and are tailored to different cultural customs. Parents don't have to worry about a thing!

 

Early start & late closing

We're open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. This way, you can always drop off and pick up your child without any stress, before or after work.

 

Affordable rates

We adjust our prices annually to ensure you always get the best rates. This way, you'll never overpay. Thanks to customized contracts and competitive rates, our childcare is affordable for every family.

 

Care that moves with you

Do you work shifts, have variable schedules, or work in a vital sector? We offer childcare that adapts to your needs – even with last-minute changes, but always in consultation.

 

Healthy and social

The themes of health and social well-being are a common thread throughout our policy. Children play outside frequently, receive healthy food, and we promote the social development of all children.

 

Daily routine full of fun

Something fun every day. From crafts and different themes to trips to an indoor playground or a breath of fresh air in the woods – there's always something to do!

 

Respect for everyone

We see and value each child as they are, taking into account everyone's background, habits and culture.

 

Involved with the children

We really listen to the children, discuss things together and keep their stories in mind.

Our experience garden

What's there to do?
- A certified playhouse with a slide, climbing net, sliding pole, stairs, ticket booth, and climbing wall
- A climbing frame for true acrobats
- Bikes and scooters for some fun racing
- A car and bike track for little speed devils
- A fenced-in soccer field for safe play- A basketball court for athletic jumps
- A sand area for endless building and digging
- Picnic tables for relaxing and enjoying a drink
- Apple and pear trees – picking is allowed!
- Wonderful shade under large plane trees and shade cloths
- A wooden shed full of bikes and outdoor toys
- A sand hill with a climbing path to run across
- Plenty of play grass to roll around on, run around, and relax
- And an outdoor sink, because getting dirty is allowed – but so is cleaning inside

Playing outside has never been so fun and educational!
