About us

English ChildCare Maastricht was established out of a demand from the expat community for high quality and flexible childcare.

English ChildCare Maastricht was founded by Marlies Uiterwaal. A child of expat parents, she grew up all over the world and is a real product of the international school system. Marlies has held executive positions in the corporate world, teaching posts and is a mother of three. She is very familiar with the challenges of juggling work, family life and the very limited social network of an expat. Therefore, English ChildCare Maastricht aims to provide a home-away-from-home for your child and take good care of you as well.

Our international team of staff are highly qualified, have been selected because they truly care about the well-being and development of your child and are willing to run the extra mile if needed.

In summer 2015 ECM moved to a new location: Ambyerstaat Zuid 88. Here we feel to have achieved a home-away-from-home where our highest priority has been maintaining the high quality child care that we stand for. This location is in a historical school building which was built in 1905, in Amby and is a 7 minute walk from UWC and 10 minutes from Kindcentrum Amby. It is a beautiful, light and spacious building whilst managing at the same time to convey a cozy personal feel due to the original features of the building. As the original use of the building was a school, it has a large fenced in playground, ideal for the safety and security of your children.
