About this care
Kindercentrum De Krentebloesem in Rotterdam is a small-scale daycare centre operated by Berkien & van Karsen. We provide care for up to 22 children aged 0 to 4 years, divided into a baby group (0–2 years) and a toddler group (2–4 years). Our location at Kamillestraat 30 has a homely atmosphere where every child is made to feel safe and at home.
We follow an anthroposophical vision, which means we see each child as a unique individual who develops at their own pace. Calm, rhythm and familiarity are central to our daily routine. We place great value on outdoor play, as being outside is essential to us—whether the sun is shining, it is cloudy, or there is a light drizzle. Nature offers endless stimuli for imagination and motor skills.
Each day we serve a warm, organic and vegetarian meal. This allows children to discover different tastes and enjoy healthy food. Our spaces are carefully designed with warm colours, natural materials and a layout that invites play and exploration. Our small team of dedicated pedagogical staff ensures short lines of communication and personal contact with parents.
Kindercentrum De Krentebloesem has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 4 May 2017 under number 130380131. We meet all national quality requirements and are supervised by the GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond. Parents can apply for childcare allowance for our services.Read more

Violations
- Deployment of pedagogical policy staff: calculation of coaching hours for 2025 has not been fully corrected; the owner only submitted a 2026 document while 2025 also needed to be corrected
- Safety and health policy: no concrete action plan with deadlines; risk assessment is missing; risky situations identified such as child sleeping outside in stroller and dangerous electrical situation in bedroom
- Duty to report, consult and file charges: staff do not know that they can contact a confidential inspector or must file a police report when suspecting abuse by the owner

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 10 June 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Krentebloesem in Rotterdam presents a mixed picture. The unannounced follow-up inspection checked quality requirements that had previously not been in order. The pedagogical policy, the reporting code for domestic violence, and the room requirements are now sufficient. However, four topics still do not comply: the deployment of pedagogical policy staff, the safety and health policy, the duty to report, consult and file charges, and the provision of information to parents. Concerning the safety policy, risky situations were found, including a child sleeping outside in a stroller and dangerous electrical wiring in a bedroom. Staff have insufficient knowledge of their duty to report when suspecting abuse by the owner. The GGD advises enforcement action.
