About this care
De Kinderster peutergroep is located at Sumatrakade 1483A in vibrant Amsterdam-Oost, just steps from Javaplein. We provide small-scale, professional childcare for up to 16 toddlers aged 2 to 4. Our experienced pedagogical staff work within a clear horizontal group model, ensuring all children share a similar developmental stage so we can tailor activities precisely to their world of experience.
Each day begins with a structured early-years educational programme (VVE) that prepares children for primary school through play. We work thematically, focusing on language, numeracy, social skills and independence. Music, dance and outdoor play are fixed parts of our daily rhythm. Our spacious, green outdoor area invites running, climbing and discovery, promoting gross motor skills and playful interaction with natural elements.
Healthy nutrition matters to us. Children receive an organic, hot and freshly prepared meal, complemented by fruit and healthy snacks. We accommodate food allergies wherever possible and adapt the menu to individual needs.
Parent communication is central. Every toddler has a dedicated mentor who knows the child well and is available for daily brief exchanges with parents. Together we create a familiar environment that feels like a second home. Short, flexible care days are possible—feel free to ask about the options.Read more

Summary
The Kinderster toddler group at Sumatrakade in Amsterdam was inspected on 29 April 2025. The location provides toddler daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for up to 16 children aged 2-4, but closed again on 10 June 2025 due to low occupancy. The inspection found the pedagogical practice to be sound: children experience emotional safety, the VE-program Uk & Puk is used, and social and personal skills are stimulated. There are also sufficiently qualified staff and a clear pedagogical policy. There were two violations: insufficient hand and diaper changing hygiene, and limited knowledge of mandatory reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations. Following a recovery offer, the organization took immediate measures: additional instruction, visual reminders, and an evaluation meeting. The violations have thereby been resolved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to impose enforcement measures.
