About this care
Welcome to De Kinderster IJburg, our small-scale daycare center located at Ed Pelsterpark 8 in the heart of IJburg. We provide professional childcare for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely and safe environment where every child has the space to develop at their own pace.
Our location consists of three groups: a baby group for children aged 0 to 2 years with space for 8 children, and two vertical groups where children aged 0 to 4 years play and learn together. This setup allows siblings to grow up together while younger children can participate in activities with older children. The pedagogical staff of De Kinderster are known for their commitment and professional guidance. They see their role as complementary to home education and create an environment where children feel safe and challenged.
The spacious group areas are specially designed for young children and offer plenty of opportunities for play and development. We have our own outdoor playground where children can go outside daily to play and explore. The small scale of our childcare ensures familiar faces and personal attention for each child. Parents appreciate the calm and relaxed atmosphere in which their children feel at home.Read more

Summary
De Kinderster IJburg is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 3 groups (32 places) in Amsterdam. The annual inspection on 25 November 2025 shows a predominantly positive picture. The pedagogical practice is assessed as warm, engaged and stimulating. Staff provide emotional security, stimulate development and guide children in conflict situations. Personnel and groups meet all requirements: sufficient qualified staff, correct Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) registration and stable group composition. One violation was identified: the outdoor play area is not directly adjacent to the building. Since 2020, the location has held a tolerance decision (gedoogbesluit) from the municipality for this. Because all conditions of this decision are met, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement action.
