About this care
Welcome to De Krentenmik, the daycare centre of IKC Het Spectrum located at Hofsingel 74 in Vlaardingen. We provide full-day care for children aged 0 to 4 years in a safe and homely environment. Our 92 childcare places are organised in horizontal age groups, allowing children to move up step by step as they grow.
At De Krentenmik we work from one shared vision: letting children grow up through play, discovery and development. We do this on our green playground and in our cosy group rooms. Through play we stimulate the broad development of every child. We offer development-oriented activities and games that connect with the world of experience of young children.
Our daycare centre is part of UN1EK kinderopvang B.V., an organisation that provides education and childcare in one continuous line for children from 0 to 13 years. From one vision, one mission and one organisation we ensure a familiar environment where children feel safe and secure. We work closely with the primary school within the same Integral Child Centre, ensuring a smooth transition to primary education.
We believe it is important that children are given the space to develop at their own pace. Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to contribute to a warm and stimulating environment. Together with parents we ensure that every child can develop optimally.Read more

Summary
Kindercentrum De Krentenmik in Vlaardingen, part of UN1EK Kinderopvang B.V., was inspected on 27 January 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) accommodates 75 children aged 0-4 years across five groups. The annual inspection showed that the location meets most quality requirements. The pedagogical climate was assessed positively: staff work sensitively and responsively, provide structure, and stimulate children's development. One incident was identified: on 13 and 14 January 2026, a temporary staff member without the required infant qualification was deployed in the baby group. The GGD considers this an incident. The location did not receive a recovery offer for this inspection. However, in the previous annual inspection (April 2025), a recovery offer was made for the pedagogical policy, which was successfully completed. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
