About this care
Welcome to Hildegardis Kinderopvang, located at the vibrant Louwerslootstraat 135 in the heart of Rotterdam. Our daycare center is part of the Stichting Hildegardis Kinderopvang foundation and has been providing a warm, safe environment for 44 children aged 0 to 4 years since 2018. In our bright building with a playful outdoor garden, children have all the space they need to grow and develop.
We work with a unique VVE program (Pre- and Early School Education) based on the principle: PLAYING IS LEARNING. This educational program ensures that we can offer customized activities tailored to each child's developmental stage. Our NCKO-certified pedagogical staff guide the children with great care and attention in horizontal groups, where babies and toddlers are cared for separately.
The spaces are specially designed to challenge and stimulate children in their development. We have a spacious outdoor garden where children can play and discover nature. Our opening hours are from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM, providing flexible childcare options for parents.
At Hildegardis Kinderopvang, your child's development is central. We provide a stimulating environment where children learn and grow through play. Our professional staff ensures that each child receives the attention they deserve, in a homely and safe atmosphere.Read more

Summary
The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection on 7 April 2026 at Hildegardis Kinderopvang in Rotterdam shows a predominantly positive picture. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 44 children (0-4 years) meets most quality requirements. The pedagogical climate, pedagogical practice, qualification requirements, stability of childcare, safety and health policy, and accommodation are all well in order. One recovery offer was made for early childhood education: the work plan lacked a concrete description of the early childhood education hours. The operator resolved this by adjusting the plan to 5 hours per day, thereby meeting the requirement of 960 hours within 1.5 years. Additionally, one incident was identified regarding the staff-to-child ratio during the lunch break on 27 March 2026, where it was insufficiently clear who was replacing a staff member. The inspector assesses this as an incident with mitigating circumstances. The municipality is advised not to enforce.
