The 20-year-old joined the Dutch outfit in the summer and has since scored two goals and assisted one in his 10 appearances.
And the England Under-21 international, who has made one senior outing for Chelsea, believes he's already reaping the benefits from his experience in the Eredivisie.
"I'm really enjoying it, the football is slightly different and is a lot more technical and tactical out there," Baker told TheFA.com.
"When we play the bigger teams, it's also a physical game and I think I'm going to learn a lot out there.
