About this care
Welcome to Fantasieland Overtoom Daycare, a homely location in the heart of vibrant Amsterdam-West. We provide care for up to 12 children aged 0 to 4 years in one vertical group. This means babies, toddlers and preschoolers play, learn and grow together under the guidance of 2 to 3 dedicated, caring pedagogical staff members. Our small scale creates calm, overview and lots of personal attention.
Everything we do revolves around imagination and creativity. We believe every child has unique qualities and that learning through play is the most beautiful way to discover the world. In a safe and familiar environment, children have all the space to fantasize, explore and experience. We regularly play outside in our own garden or at nearby playgrounds, allowing children to run, climb and discover. During these outdoor moments we not only stimulate motor development, but also curiosity about nature.
Educational activities are a fixed part of our day. We work with themes that connect to the children's world of experience, using stories, songs and games. Language development receives extra attention: we read aloud, sing together and talk a lot with the children. Because we have a vertical group, the youngest learn from the oldest and the oldest practice their caring skills. This way all children develop social skills and a close group atmosphere emerges.
We value rest and regularity. There is a separate sleeping room where children can sleep when they need it. The daily schedule is flexible and follows the natural rhythms of young children. Parents can choose half or full days of care, depending on what suits the family best. We communicate openly and personally with parents, keeping everyone informed about their child's development and well-being.
Fantasieland Overtoom Daycare has been officially registered since April 24, 2024 and is supervised by the GGD Amsterdam. We meet all national quality requirements, allowing parents to apply for childcare allowance. Our location is small, cozy and full of love for children. We look forward to sharing a wonderful time with you and your child.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: February 9, 2026
Strengths
- A stable team of permanent staff provides emotional security and attachment for children
- Pedagogical practice is sound: children are challenged in their motor, cognitive, language and creative skills
- Staff are sensitive and responsive in their interactions with children
- Sufficient qualified personnel present, including first aid certificates
- The premises are safe and appropriately furnished for the children's age
Shortcomings
- The director must update policy more actively and systematically rather than reactively after inspection questions
- The transition to primary education needs to be pursued more actively; developmental information should be transferred proactively
- Current information about staff deployment must be shared better with parents
- Staff play involvement can be increased by participating more purposefully in play and enriching play during free play time
- Independence at the table can be promoted more by letting children spread their own bread
Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Fantasieland Overtoom B.V. in Amsterdam was inspected unannounced by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 9 February 2026. The location accommodates 12 children aged 0 to 4 years. All inspected quality requirements are met. The pedagogical practice is good: children appear cheerful, there is emotional security through a stable team, and staff stimulate development in multiple areas. However, there are several points for attention. The director does not meet the language requirements and her deployment in the group may lead to violations until she completes her training. The management shows a reactive approach to updating policy; shortcomings are only addressed after questions from the inspector. The transition to primary education is also passive, and the holder does not share current information about staff deployment with parents. There is no parent committee, but parents are involved in other ways. No violations or recovery offers were identified in this inspection.
