About this care
Kindcentrum De Kindercarrousel is located in the Carolus building at Strevelsweg 181 in Rotterdam. We are a daycare center for children aged 0 to 4 years. We provide care for up to 47 children and have been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since January 1, 2010.
Our pedagogical staff are ready to provide the youngest children with a safe and stimulating environment. We work with horizontal groups, where babies and toddlers are cared for in separate age groups. This ensures a calm and safe environment tailored to your child's developmental stage.
We offer pre-school education (VVE), where we stimulate children's language development. Our activities are tailored to the interests and needs of the children. We actively involve the children in compiling the activity program.
Diapers and bottle feeding are included in our childcare. We understand that flexibility is important for parents, which is why we offer flexible childcare and the possibility to swap days.
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. For parents who start earlier, we offer extended childcare from 07:00 to 07:30. We are easily accessible by public transport: metro lines D and E stop at Zuidplein station and buses 66 and 77 stop at Strevelsweg.
Parental involvement is very important to us. We work together with parents on their child's development and keep communication lines short. Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of our daycare center yourself.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: September 30, 2026
Strengths
- The domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is now in order; staff know which signals to recognize and which steps to take
- The duty to report, consult, and file charges has been restored; staff know how to act when abuse is suspected within the daycare center
Shortcomings
- Structural embedding of early childhood education in daily practice
- Making the theme visible in all corners of the group rooms
- Drawing up a concrete four-week schedule for early childhood education
- Labeling all corners with photo and text
- Making theme materials available to children
- Checking correct sizes of mattresses and fitted sheets in cribs
- Ensuring periodic checks of beds and sleeping areas
Violations
- Early childhood education: implementation of the policy is not in order; the theme is not visible in all corners, not all corners are labeled, the activity schedule is missing or incomplete, and Puk (hand puppet) is not visible to the children
- Safety and health policy: mattresses in cribs are too small, creating a risk that babies may slip underneath the mattress; this risk was also identified during the previous inspection
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced follow-up inspection at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Kindercarrousel in Rotterdam on 30 September 2026. This inspection followed an earlier inspection on 8 May 2026 during which four violations had been identified. At this follow-up inspection, two violations had been resolved: the domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol, and the duty to report, consult, and file charges. Staff were now found to be sufficiently aware of the correct procedures. However, two violations were identified again: early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) and the safety and health policy. Regarding early childhood education, a concrete activity schedule was missing, corners were insufficiently labeled, and the theme was not visible in all rooms. Regarding the safety and health policy, mattresses in cribs were too small, creating a risk that babies could slip underneath. The provider has announced measures, but the structural embedding remains a concern. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam to enforce.
