About this care
Welcome to KDV de Kroontjes, a warm and trusted childcare centre located at Hoge Molenwerf 1 in Ouderkerk aan den IJssel. We provide small-scale, professional and creative daycare for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. In one close-knit vertical group, babies, toddlers and preschoolers grow up together. They learn from and with each other, build friendships and lay a strong foundation for the future.
Discovery is at the heart of our approach. We sing and dance together, create art with various materials and offer playful language activities that stimulate development. For toddlers we provide a special programme that includes circle time, themed play and school-readiness tasks. Every child is given the space to grow at his or her own pace, surrounded by familiar faces.
Our garden offers plenty of room for safe outdoor play and nature exploration. We serve a warm, healthy lunch and nutritious snacks every day. Close contact with parents is important to us; flexible contracts and a careful settling-in period make the transition as smooth as possible. At KDV de Kroontjes every child feels at home, safe and loved.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) de Kroontjes in Ouderkerk aan den IJssel provides pre-school care for up to 16 children aged 2-4 years. The inspection on 1 April 2025 shows that pedagogical quality is good: children experience emotional safety, receive varied learning activities, and the pre-school education program (Uk & Puk) meets all requirements. Two qualified staff members and one pedagogical policy officer are employed. There is one violation: a staff member who started on 4 November 2024 was not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register until 10 November 2024 and therefore did not hold a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG) at the start of employment. The location has since remedied the issue itself. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce in accordance with policy.
