De Dikkedeur, locatie Groene Inval

Strengths

• Pedagogical policy is well developed and implemented in practice
• Staff-to-child ratios are in order
• Certificate of conduct (VOG) registrations and person registration are properly arranged
• Dutch is used as the language of communication
• Parent committee is now in order (previous violation resolved)
• Immediate corrective action taken upon identifying unsafe situations during inspection

Shortcomings

• Describe safety and health policy more concretely, specifically CO2 monitoring (who, when, how)
• Make heat protocol more location-specific and concrete
• Describe temperature measurements and registration more clearly
• Correct risk descriptions in safety matrix (gross errors in consequence assessment)
• Make indoor environment description more concrete (what constitutes 'not too low or too high')

Violations

• Safety and health policy is insufficiently concretely described: CO2 monitoring lacks specification of execution, heat protocol is unclear about indoor versus outdoor temperature and action thresholds, temperature measurements are not concrete enough, and risks with major consequences have been incorrectly assessed in the safety matrix

Summary

The annual inspection of 6 May 2026 of De Dikkedeur childcare center, Groene Inval location in Rotterdam, presents a mixed picture. The daycare for 47 children (0-4 years) meets requirements in most areas but has a violation in the area of safety and health policy. The pedagogical policy, personnel matters, and parent committee are in order. During the visit, two unsafe situations were immediately corrected: a high chair used as a doorstop and loose electrical cords. The safety and health policy is insufficiently concretely described, particularly regarding CO2 monitoring, heat protocols, temperature measurements, and risk descriptions. The holder has responded and committed to tightening the documents. The municipality is advised to enforce.
