About this care
Welcome to Voorschool Zeytouna! We provide toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 in the heart of Amsterdam West, De Baarsjes. Our preschool is a safe, small-scale place where toddlers can play, explore and grow. With a maximum capacity of 30 places we work in horizontal groups, ensuring every child receives the attention they deserve.
As part of AKROS, a social organisation under Groep Maatschappelijke Kinderopvang (GMK), we have been committed to families in Amsterdam West for over 30 years. Our pedagogical approach is based on peaceful coexistence: every child feels seen and heard. We consciously focus on language and speech development so that children are well prepared for primary school.
Our dedicated pedagogical staff create a warm, challenging environment every day where play and learning come together. We offer both full and half-day care, tailored to what suits your family best. Feel free to visit and experience the atmosphere of Voorschool Zeytouna!Read more

- Good cooperation with Al Maes primary school and warm handover
- Sufficient deployment of early childhood education coach (180 hours per year)
Violations
- Failure to meet the staff-child ratio for preschool education: 11 children cared for by only 1 early childhood education (VE) qualified staff member and 1 non-VE-qualified substitute staff member (staff member in training)

Summary
AKROS Voorschool Zeytouna is a preschool education location in Amsterdam for children aged 2 to 4, operated by Stichting AKROS Kinderopvang. The annual unannounced inspection on 29 January 2026 showed a predominantly positive picture with a stable team and good pedagogical practice. However, two violations were identified: deployment of a non-early childhood education (VE) qualified staff member in training in preschool, resulting in failure to meet the staff-child ratio for preschool education, and acting contrary to the own pedagogical policy regarding intern deployment. Both violations were resolved following a recovery offer. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement measures.
