Monkey Donky Hamburgerstraat

Daycare in Groningen, Netherlands

Monkey Donky Hamburgerstraat is a day care and out-of-school care location in Groningen, at Hamburgerstraat 13 in the Korrewegwijk, between the Indische buurt and the Professorenbuurt. The setting serves children from 0 to 12 years old and is described as a cozy and safe environment. The atmosphere is child-focused and calm, with different age groups able to share the same location while still having their own spaces. The school or care setting also draws children from nearby neighbourhoods including the Korrewegbuurt, Oosterparkbuurt, Van Starkenborgh, De Hunze and Beijum.

The location offers both kinderdagverblijf and buitenschoolse opvang, with Dutch as the language used. The day care part includes a babygroep for children from 3 months to about 1.5 years, a dreumesgroep from about 1.5 to about 3 years, and a peutergroep for children from about 3 to 4 years. Each group has its own room, while there is also plenty of contact between the groups, helping children learn how to interact with different ages and allowing brothers and sisters to see each other regularly. The BSO serves children from 4 to 7 years on the ground floor and a 7+ group upstairs. On the first floor there is also a spacious kitchen for cooking activities with the children.

Daily life includes both indoor and outdoor play. The day care has three bright group rooms and, next to the souterrain, an covered and enclosed outdoor play area with a large sandpit and space for riding toys. Around the building there is also an enclosed outdoor space where children can play freely. The location borders a park with a large pond, where children feed the ducks in summer and can skate in winter. Across the road there is a large play park that the children visit regularly, and several playgrounds are within walking distance. The BSO also has a large play structure for climbing, jumping and sliding, and children often play in the Molukkenplantsoen opposite the BSO. Families can also choose a warm midday meal at the day care.

What makes Monkey Donky Hamburgerstraat distinctive is its setting in a former church building, the Kandelaarkerk, which was taken into use as a church in 1965 and given a new destination in 2000. Monkey Donky Speelhuis bought and fully renovated the building in 2011, while keeping characteristic features of the municipal monument in mind. This is reflected, for example, in the Ruysdael glass in the BSO room and the candlestick detail on the outside façade. It is a good fit for families looking for a warm, safe place with both day care and BSO under one roof, with a strong emphasis on play, mixed-age interaction and access to outdoor space.
