Welcome to Centrolino

Little things made big! At Centrolino, little ones go on an exploration journey through an oversized natural landscape. Developed and designed by play and leisure expert Ravensburger, Centrolino offers the perfect atmosphere for fun on over 700 m². They can climb like a spider, crawl through tunnels like an ant, or lie quietly in the bird's nest and listen to a story. Along the way, they receive age-appropriate, clear, and illustrative answers to thousands of questions about nature. Under the motto "On the Trail of Nature," Centrolino provides space for running, jumping, and climbing to satisfy children's high energy levels. Additionally, children can expand their knowledge in a playful way..

Horstmann provides the kitchen for Centrolino, making families at Centro happy 

 

Mothers warm up their baby's milk bottle, fathers prepare fruit salad for the birthday party. The kitchen at Centrolino is a central place in the new children's area, which opened at Westfield Centro in May 2017. The kitchen house Horstmann sponsored and installed the entire kitchen unit, including tables and benches, for this special place. For the traditional specialist shop from Oberhausen, regional support is a matter close to their hearts. 

Westfield Centro uses the fully equipped kitchen for the Centrolino program; for example, in winter, it became a Christmas bakery where children could create gingerbread houses. At Easter, eggs are painted, and in the summer, the little ones mix their own child-friendly cocktails.

FAQ

HOW LONG CAN MY CHILD STAY AT CENTROLINO?

The stay duration is between 1 and 3 hours. Please ensure to pick up your children on time.

WHAT DOES THE CHILDCARE COST?

A fee per started hour is required for your child's care. Payment is made in cash upon pick-up. It costs €5 per started hour, €3 for Westfield Club members. The fee is due at the agreed care start time.

WHEN CAN I NOT LEAVE MY CHILD IN CARE?

A maximum of 40 children can be cared for at the same time (care ratio 1:10). We ask for your understanding if, during peak times, no more children can be admitted temporarily.

Children suffering from fever, pain, severe cough, diarrhea, vomiting, or visible discomfort cannot attend childcare.

Additionally, children must be diaper-free. Markus Paul GmbH is authorized to exclude children from care or terminate the care contract if:

  1. The child's care is questionable because parents are unwilling to cooperate with the staff.
  2. Parents behave towards Markus Paul GmbH staff in such a way that Markus Paul GmbH, as an employer, is obliged to protect its staff under its duty of care.
  3. The child, due to behaviour or personal reasons, demonstrates a need for care that cannot be covered by the existing personnel resources of the care offer.

 

IS THERE A DIAPER CHANGING TABLE IN THE CHILDREN'S AREA?

Yes – for younger siblings, we have a well-equipped diaper changing and nursing room. Please note that your child must be diaper-free for the supervised area.

Next to the lockers in Centrolino, there is an area where strollers can be parked.

CAN I, AS AN ADULT, ENTER CENTROLINO WITH MY CHILD?

Parents are allowed in the open play area. However, only children aged 3 to 10 years are allowed in the supervised area.

The childcare is intended to relieve adult caregivers. Adult caregivers can check children into childcare and then comfortably shop for a maximum of three hours.

DO I HAVE TO TAKE OFF MY SHOES WHEN ENTERING THE PLAY AREA?

At the entrance to Centrolino, there are lockers for storing jackets, shoes, bags, and more. We ask that you enter the play area only with socks for hygiene reasons.

Centrolino is not liable for the loss, damage, or confusion of personal belongings. We recommend labeling your child's items with their name.

WHY ARE CHILDREN UNDER 4 AND OVER 12 NOT ALLOWED IN CHILDCARE?

Children are usually developmentally ready to stay alone in an unfamiliar care facility from the age of 4. From the age of 12, children are too big for many play equipment in the children's area.

WHAT IF MY CHILD WANTS TO BE PICKED UP EARLY?

At check-in, the phone number of the adult caregiver is recorded, so we can contact you anytime and inform you of the child's wish to be picked up.

WHY DO I NEED TO PROVIDE MY CONTACT DETAILS?

As parents, you are obliged to provide the caregivers with all necessary information required for safe childcare and pick-up. This includes, in particular, the personal data of the parents, which are secured by an identity card or passport.
