Our branch Eerste Helmers is moving! The current building housing Eerste Helmers is being demolished due to subsidence. Therefore, from Monday 18 September, we will welcome our children at our beautiful new location on Potgieterstraat 34. The new branch is located in a monumental school building called De Potgieter. In addition to the garden, this location has a roof terrace and an indoor play area. We hope that all children, parents and Pedagogical Employees at Eerste Helmers will soon feel at home at this new location! Good to know: although the new building is no longer located on Eerste Helmersstraat, the branch will continue to be called Eerste Helmers

We are proud to announce that CompaNanny is as of today the new owner of childcare centre Toppie in Hilversum! The conversations with Toppie started from the wish to expand in Hilversum. This qualitative provider felt like a logical party to approach. Toppie was founded 22 years ago and has become a major player with six locations in Hilversum and Baarn. Quality is central to both organisations: to children, parents and staff. We also found similarities in policy, working methods and vision. This creates a solid base for a joint future in which we combine the best of Toppie with the best of CompaNanny.  We look forward to the coming period in which we, together with our new colleagues from Toppie, can work on offering the best care for parents and children. Soon there will be more information about these branches on our website, as well as the possibility to register!

The expression "digital media is here to stay" is actually already outdated; today's youth knows no time without the internet and social media. But how you, as a parent, deal with this within your child's education can be difficult and can raise numerous questions:How do you guide your child in a positive way? How do you ensure the right balance between online and offline within the family? What information can you best, or better not, give about social media? What agreements should you make about gaming? How can you help your child if he or she is being bullied online? And what influence do vloggers have?Media educator Jacqueline Kleijer of Bureau Jeugd&Media gives tips and practical tools about all this in this CompaTalks!This CompaTalks takes place on Tuesday, September 7, 20.00-21.00 and is completely free! Please note that webinar is given in Dutch.Register now via: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ogybuXFAQfGDtYRDl0fIdQ

We would like to share te following good news. From now on CompaNanny is the new owner of Kinderopvang Kids & Zo. It concerns three locations in Amsterdam beautifully located in the City Center, in East (Amstel) and in the Baarsjes in West. Quality is key to both organizations; for children, parents and employees. We do, however, put that quality into practice in various ways and we distinguish ourselves in different elements. But at the core of both companies we want the best for parents, children and employees. This provides a solide base and forms the foundation for the future. We are very proud and look forward to the coming period in which we, together with our new colleagues from Kids & Zo, will be able to work on providing the best care for parents and children. More information about these locations will be posted on our website soon, as well as the possibility to register at one of them. Want to know what other Amsterdam neighbourhoods we are in?

During CompaTalks we share the most current visions and trends in the field of child development and child education. We give internal and external experts an (online) platform to share their inspiring stories and thoughts with us. During the last CompaTalk at the end of November, pedagogue Annemiek Waage talked about the sexual development of children aged 0 to 13 years. Research shows that the importance of good sexual development has a major effect on the development of the brain. Experience shows that sexual development is not often talked about, while many parents/guardians and pedagogic employees still have many questions about (sexual) behaviour of children
