At Home in Nature daycare centre in Viikki’s natural surroundings

At Home in Nature daycare centre Pilke Uikunkoto was established in the Helsinki district of Viikki in 2013. We are next-door neighbours with At Home in Nature daycare centre Sotkankoto with which we engage in regular cooperation. Uikunkoto’s everyday life is shared by approximately 26 children, 4 educators and a daycare assistant. Uikunkoto has its roots in the renowned Taiga Child daycare company (linked site in Finnish) which is now part of the Pilke family.

Vegetable-rich organic food

Our daycare centre premises are located by excellent transport connections right next to Viikki’s open fields. We fill our premises with heartfelt warmth to support the children’s well-being. As part of our playful and warm-spirited everyday life, wooden furniture and toys as well as various kinds of fabric and silk elements help create a natural, homelike atmosphere. A vegetable-rich organic lunch is prepared daily in our kitchen. We allow the children to participate in cooking so that they can see their own handiwork in the meals. The high quality of our foods is verified by our highest three-star rating of the organic food programme Portaat Luomuun.
