Childcare De Pepermolen takes the next step with the sale to the Kopwerk Foundation
After years of dedication and entrepreneurship, Angela van Kolthoorn, founder of De Pepermolen Childcare, is embarking on a new adventure in Sweden. To leave her childcare facility in good hands, she is transferring the operation to the Kopwerk Foundation. This acquisition will preserve De Pepermolen and give the facility the opportunity to grow further within a larger organization. Match Plan assisted the sale from start to finish and played a key role in the successful completion of the transaction.
A familiar place for children on Texel
Since its founding in 2008, Childcare De Pepermolen has been a popular location for small-scale, home-like childcare on Texel. From its central location in Oosterend, the daycare offers a safe and familiar environment where children's development is paramount.
The personal approach and strong pedagogical policy have made De Pepermolen a valued name within the Texel community. By joining Kopwerk, this high standard can be maintained and further developed.
Kopwerk Foundation increases its impact
With the acquisition of De Pepermolen Childcare, the Kopwerk Foundation strengthens its position as a leading educational and childcare organization in Northern North Holland. Kopwerk, which already manages 27 primary schools, is committed to providing high-quality, accessible, and future-oriented childcare, in line with its educational vision.
With a team of over 400 employees and 3,500 students, Kopwerk plays a vital role in children's educational and personal growth. The philosophy of "local where possible, central where possible" perfectly aligns with De Pepermolen's trusted, small-scale approach. The acquisition offers new opportunities for further professionalization and innovation, while preserving the unique identity of the daycare center.
Strong foundation for the future
By joining Kopwerk, De Pepermolen gains access to additional resources and expertise, ensuring its high quality standards and enabling further growth. This partnership ensures stability and innovation, without compromising its trusted pedagogical approach.
For parents and staff, this step means a secure future, leveraging both De Pepermolen's existing strengths and new opportunities. Thanks to the acquisition, the daycare will not only remain recognizable and familiar, but also future-proof.
