About this care
Welcome to daycare Heppie, located at Hillestraat 21 in the Afrikaanderwijk district of Rotterdam-Zuid. We are a small-scale, homely daycare centre where a maximum of 28 children aged 0-4 find a familiar, loving and safe environment that feels like an extension of home. Our team of permanent, enthusiastic and experienced childcare professionals ensures that every child is given the space to develop at his or her own pace.
The two spacious rooms are set up as warm living rooms with corners for rest, play and discovery. Each group has its own sleeping room where children can rest in cots or beds. Our natural outdoor playground offers plenty of space to run, climb and play in the fresh air.
Daycare Heppie works according to the principle of horizontal grouping: babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers are in separate groups so that activities and care are perfectly tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage. We offer flexible opening hours from Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00, allowing you to choose what suits your family best.
Would you like to get to know us better? Feel free to make an appointment for a tour or contact us at heppie@dedroomplaats.nl or +31 10 3240700. We will be happy to tell you personally about our approach and answer all your questions.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: August 4, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical policy and practice are well developed and visible in daily operations
- Pre-school education Uk & Puk is adequately provided with sufficient hours and qualified staff
- Staff registration, training requirements and staff-to-child ratios are in order
- Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is well implemented
- Staff demonstrate sensitive and responsive behaviour with children
Shortcomings
- Ensure and repeat knowledge of mandatory reporting, consultation and disclosure obligations with all staff on a structural basis
- Organise and document alternative parental participation while there is no parent committee
Violations
- Mandatory reporting, consultation and disclosure obligations: staff are not sufficiently familiar with all components of the procedure in cases of suspected abuse or mistreatment by a colleague, the holder or the person with final responsibility
- Parent committee: despite voluntary status, no alternative parental participation has been arranged for matters with advisory rights
Summary
KDV Heppie in Rotterdam, part of Stichting Humankind, was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 4 August 2026. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0-4 with 28 places and pre-school education through Uk & Puk scores well on pedagogical climate, staff and groups. Two quality requirements are not in order: the mandatory reporting, consultation and disclosure obligations (staff do not know all procedures in cases of suspected abuse by colleagues or the holder) and the parent committee (no alternative parental participation arranged despite voluntary participation). The holder indicated in their response that measures will be taken, including structural repetition and a parent evening. The GGD advises enforcement.
