About this care
Hildegaert Peuteropvang is part of Hildegaert Kindcentrum, located on quiet Debussylaan 11 in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg. We provide small-scale, professional care for up to 32 toddlers aged 2 to 4. The toddler group is housed in the same building as the primary school and after-school care, creating a warm, familiar environment that supports young children’s development.
Our toddler care focuses entirely on the needs of children in this special stage of life. We work with small, horizontal groups so every child receives the attention they deserve. The rooms are bright, safe and inviting, with corners for role play, construction, reading and discovery. The large, green outdoor playground invites running, climbing, sand play and nature exploration.
We believe it is important for toddlers to feel safe and secure. Our pedagogical staff are ready with a listening ear, a hug and stimulating activities that connect with the child’s world of experience. Cooperation with parents is central: we share daily how the morning or afternoon went and tailor our activities to what the child needs. This way, children grow with us towards a flying start for primary school.Read more

Summary
Hildegaert Peuteropvang in Rotterdam, part of Stichting Opwijs Opvang, provides toddler care with pre-school education for 32 children (ages 2-4). At the annual inspection on 10 July 2026, the location met all assessed quality requirements. Previous violations from 2025 and 2026 regarding the pedagogical policy have been resolved: the pedagogical policy plan and work plan have been revised with concrete descriptions of the working methods of both core groups and the connection to primary education and after-school care (BSO). The pedagogical practice is good, with sensitive and responsive guidance. The pre-school education following the Pyramid method meets all requirements, including group size, hours and qualified personnel. There are two points of attention: the sun protection protocol is not location-specific (does provide sufficient coverage) and an outdated document on the duty to report, consult and file was posted in the group room (replaced immediately after inspection). No violations were identified during this inspection.
