Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond on 18 March 2026 shows that childcare centre De Blijberg meets all assessed quality requirements. The toddler daycare, located within primary school De Blijberg in Rotterdam, provides pre-school education to 16 children aged 2 to 4 years. The pedagogical practice is positive: staff interact with children in a sensitive and responsive manner, provide structure, and stimulate development through play. The pre-school education follows the Peuterplein method with thematic activities and meets the statutory hour requirement of 960 hours. Safety, health, the domestic violence reporting code, and parent information are all in order. There is no parent committee, but the provider involves parents through surveys and newsletters. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
