Location details

Espira Daycare Centre Onder de Toren

Espira Daycare Center Onder de Toren is located in the quiet residential area of Groot Kroeven in Roosendaal-Zuid. It is a pleasant, green neighborhood with playgrounds around the corner and large parks such as the Vrouwenhofpark with playgrounds and children's activities within easy reach. 

Inside, there are various corners and play areas where children can move around and relax. The rooms have a homely atmosphere and fresh bread is baked every day. This stimulates all the senses and allows children to grow and discover to their heart's content.

We regularly take the wagon to the forest for adventurous excursions. But there is also plenty to do in our own green outdoor space.

Our Child care centre

"Our permanent team ensures a safe place every day where rest, exercise, and fun alternate. The vertical groups reinforce the homely atmosphere and ensure that children of different ages learn with and from each other. This makes our daycare feel like a second home for every child."

Care groups at the location

Care groups at the location

Espira Daycare Center Onder de Toren works with two vertical groups. Both group activities and age-specific activities are offered.

  1. The Ocean (0-4 years)
    A warm, homely group where babies, toddlers, and preschoolers grow up together. Brothers and sisters between the ages of 0 and 4 can be together here, just like at home.
     
  2. The Jungle (1-4 years)
    Here, children are challenged to explore the world! With our playhouse, slide, and climbing frame, we encourage independence and teamwork.
A day at the daycare centre

This is what a day at looks Espira ‘Onder de Toren’ like

Onder de Toren
Good morning & bring

Good morning! Just a quick hug for mom or dad and a chat. Then we'll start the day together. 

Onder de Toren
Day start in the circle

The group starts together in a circle. We go over what the day will bring, sing a song, or read a book—a cheerful start to the day. 

Onder de Toren
Fruit moment

Then your child eats fresh fruit at the table—a pleasant moment to laugh, talk, and enjoy each other's company. Some babies take a nap after this. 

Onder de Toren
Playing outside and exploring

In the morning, the children spend as much time as possible outside. They ride their bikes, build sandcastles, look for leaves, or discover all there is to see. Being outside is part of every day at Espira—with plenty of room for free play and their own discoveries.

Onder de Toren
Lunch

Around noon, the children eat a sandwich lunch and drink water or milk. It is a quiet and pleasant moment where they pay attention to each other. 

Onder de Toren
Rest period / sleep

After lunch, it's time to rest. Some children sleep, others listen to a story or look at a book. No obligations, just relaxation. 

Onder de Toren
Drink and healthy snack break (after rest)

When the children wake up, they eat fresh vegetable snacks and have a drink together. This way, the afternoon starts quietly, with renewed energy. 

Onder de Toren
Afternoon activities

In the afternoon, there is time for a group activity—such as making music, building, or crafting—and for free play. Your child plays alone or with others, often outdoors. This way, play naturally turns into learning. 

Onder de Toren
Drink and healthy snack break (afternoon)

After all the playing and fun, we have a drink together and eat a healthy snack. 

Onder de Toren
Rest moment and closing together

At the end of the afternoon, we take a break and sit down together at the table to enjoyably conclude the day. After that, we can play freely for a while, either outside or inside, or quietly read a book together. 

Onder de Toren
Pick up

After a brief, warm handover, it's time to go home again—with a smile and a head full of stories. 

Play, discover, and grow naturally

Play, discover, and grow naturally

At Espira, children can be themselves in a safe and loving environment. We go outside every day—rain or shine—because nature is our second home, where children can discover the world with all their senses. We lay a solid foundation with healthy food, plenty of exercise, and sufficient rest. Our educational professionals see learning opportunities in everything and give children the confidence to fall, get up, and try again. This helps children grow up with self-confidence, a sense of responsibility, and a love for the world around them.
