Violations

Summary

Seva Kinderopvang Rotterdam B.V. (BSO) at Catharina Beersmansstraat 80 in Rotterdam was inspected on 9 June 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond. This was an annual inspection for 45 childcare places for children aged 4 to 12 years. The location meets most quality requirements, but a violation of the safety and health policy was again identified. The outdoor play area, a public square, had not been adequately inspected for litter. Cigarette butts, plastic waste and a cleaning cloth were found where children were playing, while the protocol stipulates that the square must be checked before use. This is a recurring problem that was also identified during previous inspections in 2024 and 2025. The provider has tightened the outdoor play protocol following the inspection. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam to take enforcement action.
