Location details

Espira Childcare centre De Watertoren

At Espira Daycare Center De Watertoren in Steenbergen, we offer a warm, safe, and playful environment where babies, toddlers, and preschoolers aged 0-4 can grow up learning through play. 

We believe that experiencing nature is essential for children's development. That is why we exercise a lot and take the children outside every day. Our own nature playground offers plenty of space for climbing, scrambling, and playing hide-and-seek. We have a baby spa for the little ones—relax and enjoy!

A day at the daycare centre

This is what a day at looks Espira ‘De Watertoren’ like

De Watertoren
Good morning & bring

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

De Watertoren
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. 

De Watertoren
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. 

De Watertoren
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. 

De Watertoren
Rustmoment / slapen

Rest period / sleep 

De Watertoren
Drink and healthy snack break (after rest)

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

De Watertoren
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. 

De Watertoren
Drink and healthy snack break (afternoon)

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

De Watertoren
Rest period 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. 

De Watertoren
Pick up

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

How children grow at Espira

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.
