Gastouderopvang ‘t Tulpje

Gastouderopvang ’t Tulpje is a home-based childcare service in Vaassen, run by Suzanne from a detached home with a garden of approximately 700 square metres. Drawing on around 13.5 years of childcare experience and 18 years as a doctor’s assistant, Suzanne provides a welcoming, secure setting where each child’s needs and development are central. Her approach values calm, consistency, warmth and respect, with an interest in anthroposophical childcare that is not applied dogmatically.

Daily activities include reading, singing, music, indoor and outdoor play, creative activities and shared meals. A predictable routine balances active play with rest, while babies follow an individual rhythm agreed with their parents. The childcare setting uses natural materials and offers organic food. Children can also join the household for an evening meal for an additional charge. Evening care and occasional weekend care may be available by arrangement. ’t Tulpje works with Gastouderbureau Roodkapje and Gastouderbureau Bij de Hand, enabling eligible families to apply for childcare benefit. The service is also affiliated with the Childcare Branch Organisation.
