About this care
Welcome to Dikkie Dik, our own pre-school playgroup located at Christelijke Basisschool Beatrix, Herenoord 10 in Rotterdam. We provide a safe and familiar environment where children aged 2 to 4 develop through play. Dikkie Dik works closely with the primary school, ensuring a smooth transition from pre-school to group 1.
Our toddlers work in small groups following the Uk & Puk programme. This programme stimulates the broad development of young children through active play, with a strong focus on language and numeracy. We work thematically and set concrete goals for each child. Social-emotional development receives much attention; we learn to play together, share and understand each other.
Parents can choose from different forms of childcare. From age 2 we offer sessions: two mornings and two afternoons per week. Mornings run from 08:20 to 11:20, afternoons from 12:00 to 15:00. On Wednesday there is a longer morning session from 08:20 to 12:20. From age 2.5 we also offer full-day care from 08:20 to 15:00 (not on Wednesday).
We are open to new families. A personal conversation will give you all the information about our approach and the possibilities for your child.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Dikkie Dik in Rotterdam provides care for up to 32 children aged 2-4 years in two core groups. The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 13 January 2025 concludes that the location broadly meets the statutory quality requirements, but identifies two violations. The daycare offers good pre-school education following the Uk & Puk programme, works with fixed mentors per child and has qualified staff. A pedagogical policy officer has been deployed and the duty to report, consult and file official notifications is in order. However, four children were temporarily placed in another core group without written parental consent, which violates the stability of care requirement. Parental participation is also insufficiently embedded: there is no parent committee and alternative consultation is not demonstrably arranged. The municipality is advised to enforce.
