About this care
Welcome to De Groene Tuin at Taselaarstraat 5 in Rotterdam IJsselmonde! We are a daycare centre (KDV) with over 10 years of experience in providing professional childcare for children aged 0 to 4. Our focus is on creating a safe, stimulating and encouraging environment where every child feels welcome and free to be themselves.
Our qualified pedagogical staff – all holding a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), relevant childcare diplomas and certificates in paediatric first aid and emergency response – guide your child with full attention. We work in small groups with a ratio of one carer for every four babies or six older children, ensuring plenty of individual attention. Each group room is age-appropriate, bright and spacious. In addition to the group rooms, children can meet in our central hall, a place where different ages come together and learn from one another.
Healthy nutrition is just as important to us as play and development. Every day we serve a warm, organic and halal meal, complemented by healthy snacks and plenty to drink. If your child has an allergy or special dietary needs, please let us know; we will adapt our meals accordingly.
Outside, there is a large playground with various play equipment. When the weather is nice we spend a lot of time outdoors: we craft, read stories, play games or go on local outings. Our fixed daily routine provides structure and calm, while we work playfully on your child’s cognitive, social-emotional and motor development. We gently prepare children for primary school and offer early childhood education (VVE).
Our location at Taselaarstraat 5 in IJsselmonde is inspected by the GGD, easily accessible with ample parking and equipped with camera surveillance. We are open Monday to Friday from 07:15 to 18:15, excluding national holidays and two compulsory training days each year. You are warmly invited to come for an informal visit and tour!Read more

Violations
- Pedagogical policy: actions not in accordance with the pedagogical policy plan (Art. 1.49/1.50 paras 1 and 2 Childcare Act; Art. 3 para 1 Childcare Quality Decree)
- Pedagogical practice: insufficient sensitive and responsive approach, insufficient structure, insufficient stimulation of personal and social competencies, insufficient transfer of norms and values in the Vlinders group (Art. 1.49/1.50 paras 1 and 2 Childcare Act; Art. 2 Childcare Quality Decree)
- Health and safety policy: door policy not followed by BBL staff member, cleaning supplies not stored high up and locked away in the Vlinders and Rupsjes groups (Art. 1.49 para 1 and 1.50 paras 1 and 2 Childcare Act; Art. 4 para 1 Childcare Quality Decree)
Summary
The annual inspection on 9 September 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Groene Tuin in Rotterdam reveals a mixed picture. The daycare for 69 children (0-4 years) meets requirements in several areas, but has serious shortcomings in pedagogical practice and safety policy. An unsettled atmosphere was observed in the Vlinders group with frequent conflicts between children, where staff cooperated insufficiently and did not guide children adequately. The health and safety policy was also not in order due to a door policy not being followed and cleaning supplies being stored incorrectly. The provider acknowledges the incidents and took corrective measures immediately, but the Municipal Health Service (GGD) maintains its judgment that violations have occurred. The GGD advises enforcement.
