About this care
Located at Noorderhavenkade 10 in Rotterdam-Blijdorp, Kindcentrum De Kinderkade is part of KindeRdam Kinderopvang B.V. and offers both daycare and preschool services. Our four vertical groups all open directly onto a large, sunny garden featuring a discovery area for toddlers, an outdoor playpen for babies, and a safe plaza where children of different ages can play, scoot and cycle.
We follow the VVE programme Peuterplein and focus on movement, imaginative play and creative activities. Our qualified staff encourage every child to discover and develop their talents within a secure, familiar environment. Parent involvement is highly valued; an active parents’ committee supports our work and we keep parents informed through our website.
De Kinderkade is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 234714566 and provides up to 80 places for children aged 0–4. We are affiliated with the Branch Organisation for Childcare and collaborate with the Broad School network. Flexible care, day-swapping and extended opening hours from 07:00 to 18:30 are available. Nappies and formula are included.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Kinderkade in Rotterdam shows a largely positive picture, with one serious violation in the area of early childhood education. The location provides care for 80 children in five groups for children aged 0-4 years. The pedagogical climate, staff registration and safety procedures are well in order. The pedagogical practice meets all requirements: staff work sensitively and adequately stimulate children's development. A significant problem concerns the deployment of untrained staff in early childhood education groups. The provider acknowledges the shortcoming and cites staff shortages as the cause, but cannot guarantee preventing this.
Reviews
Betrokken medewerkers en een leuke speelse leeromgeving voor je baby.
Leuke, gezellige locatie
Facilities are good but the staff (that cared for my child) were rude and one in particular was confrontational. If your baby doesn’t fit the standard...
