KRIPPE & KINDERGARTEN

Essen Bredeney

Our day care centre is located in a quiet office building away from heavy traffic in the "Büropark Bredeney". Our bright group rooms with high-quality equipment offer the children a friendly, feel-good atmosphere that is safe and secure. Almost all rooms have access to our large garden, which offers a roughly 900 m2 area where our "little giants" have plenty of space to romp and play to their hearts' content.

Our day care centre parents have set up an officially registered Friends Association to support the facility.

Educational concept

Our pedagogical concept is based on the belief that children who feel happy, safe and secure are better able to learn and develop. Our daycare focus is on art and the performing arts: we believe every child has an inherent capacity for 100 languages and is an artist in their own unique way. Our mission is to help children develop and express their individual talents. This approach involves focusing on the specific needs of the children and their particular circumstances. We follow the Berlin settling-in model and place great value on excellent cooperation with parents right from the start.

Our family has been attending this daycare for many years now – our first child was there from the very beginning, and now our third child is in the under-threes section. Throughout all this time, our experiences have been overwhelmingly positive. The teachers are not only warm and friendly, but also extremely competent. You can sense the dedication and expertise they put into their work – always with the child's well-being at the forefront. The atmosphere at the daycare is warm, open, and appreciative. Our children felt at home from the very beginning, and we as parents were always included on an equal footing. We are very grateful for the loving support our children received and can wholeheartedly recommend this daycare.

The daycare center hosts many different festivals, celebrations, and special events throughout the year. This year's summer festival was particularly successful. The mayor was invited, along with representatives from the daycare center, and the entire festival seemed very well planned and organized. There were many different stations for the children, including can throwing, duck fishing, diamond hunting in the ice, and much more. For the new parents and children who started in August, it was certainly very nice to get to know the facility, the teachers, and the parents and children beforehand. In addition to the summer festival, the planned daycare spa day was also very well received by the children. We as parents are looking forward to the upcoming activities planned.

It's always a joy to see how excited my children are about going to daycare. They feel very comfortable there, are happy, and are lovingly looked after. The entire team is warm, attentive, and professional; you can immediately sense the dedication they put into their work. The processes are well organized and structured, which gives us as parents a sense of reassurance. It's especially nice to see that the children are not only cared for, but also supported and valued. It's something very special for me to send my children here with a good feeling, knowing they're in the best hands. Many thanks to the entire team for their wonderful work!

Our two daughters attend, or attended, the Little Giants Bredeney, and we've felt completely at home there from the very beginning. The atmosphere is warm, open, and appreciative, and the entire team treats the children with so much empathy and joy. From the very first meeting, we felt truly welcome. Our eldest daughter is now in school, but she still loves coming back to her old daycare. For us, this is the most wonderful sign of how comfortable she has felt here. We are very grateful that our children can be part of this special community.

We highly recommend the Kleine Riesen daycare center in Essen-Bredeney and continue to feel very comfortable there. The settling-in period went extremely well. It's nice to see that the teachers were completely focused on the children's needs during the settling-in period. It was important to us that our children weren't overwhelmed by all the new experiences. We were able to communicate our concerns and fears openly and honestly at all times and always felt well supported during this time. It's especially nice for us to see how much our boys enjoy going to daycare and how welcoming the atmosphere is in general.

Our children have been attending the Kleine Riesen daycare center in Essen-Bredeney for over two years and arrive every morning with genuine anticipation. The atmosphere is warm and appreciative; the team of educators is very dedicated, attentive, caring, and reliable. We particularly like the quiet location away from heavy traffic – drop-off and pick-up are very relaxed thanks to access via the underground parking garage. The outdoor area is large, lovingly designed, and offers plenty of space for movement and exploration. The indoor studio, library, and gymnasium are impressive – ideal for creativity and exercise. We really like the educational concept of the daycare center and its provider: clear structures, plenty of space for free play, nature experiences, and individualized support. The group structure with children under three and over three works extremely well. The parents, including the support association, are also committed and mostly work in the background – supportive without being intrusive. A lot is accomplished together here. Communication is open and equal; concerns are taken seriously and resolved quickly. We feel like we are in good hands as a family. ``` Clear recommendation – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

Our little one has been attending the U3 group since August and feels totally comfortable. The teachers treat them lovingly and we parents also feel like we are in good hands here. The acclimatization process was tailored to our daughter's individual needs and the support she received while eating and falling asleep worked exactly as she needed it at that moment.
