About this care

AI
Welcome to Het Kleine Rijk ’s-Gravendijkwal, our warm daycare centre located in a beautiful townhouse in the heart of Rotterdam. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely environment where rhythm, routine and wellbeing are central. Our approach focuses on involvement, wellbeing and sustainability. We work with horizontal groups, ensuring each age group receives the attention it needs. Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to guide the children with care and attention. We use songs to begin and end activities, giving structure to the day. These songs are even available on CD for parents, so the familiar melodies can also be heard at home. Our spacious garden offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and natural experiences. We believe in the power of being outdoors and give children space to discover, play and grow in a safe environment. For the youngest ones, we have separate sleeping areas where rest and routine are paramount. We provide brown or wholemeal bread with healthy toppings such as chicken fillet, ham, cucumber salad and hummus. We consciously choose less fat and salt, so children eat healthy and tasty food. Nappies and bottle feeding are included with us, so parents can work without worry. As a certified childcare provider, we offer preschool education (VVE), preparing children for primary school through play. We are affiliated with the Branch Organisation for Childcare and work with fixed group leaders. Flexible childcare and the possibility to swap days are available. Our location is open Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. We stand for personal attention, small-scale care and a warm, homely atmosphere where every child feels safe and loved.

Violations
The location does not meet the quality requirements for early childhood education and staff qualification requirements. Both violations from the previous inspection in October 2025 have not yet been resolved.

Shortcomings

  • On the Jade and Toermalijn groups, two staff members in training for early childhood education are deployed alongside fully certified employees, which does meet the requirement

Violations

  • Early childhood education: implementation of the pedagogical policy is inadequate; theme materials are not accessible to children, activity forms are missing, there is confusion about the theme, and the atelier is absent
  • Early childhood education: two staff members are deployed without the required VE certificate and/or language level 3F (Zonnesteen, Amethyst, Jade, Rozenkwarts)
  • Qualification requirements: on the Jade group, a staff member works without the required training for working with children under one year old, while a child under one was present

Summary

Het Kleine Rijk 's-Gravendijkwal in Rotterdam, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for ages 0-4 with 88 places, was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 16 April 2026. This follow-up inspection followed earlier violations from October 2025. The location again fails to meet two quality requirements: early childhood education and staff qualification requirements. The pedagogical policy for early childhood education is not being implemented correctly; theme materials are not accessible to children, forms are missing, and there is confusion about the current theme. In addition, two staff members are deployed without the required VE certificate and/or language level 3F. The Jade group also lacks the required training for working with children under one year old. The holder has indicated they will draw up an action plan, but this had not yet been received when the report was finalized. The GGD advises enforcement.

Hele fijne crèche met antroposofische insteek en lieve leidsters, waar onze zoon met veel plezier iedere week een dagje heen ging
