About this care
The Poppenzolder is a small Utrecht daycare centre that provides full-day care for children from zero to four years old. We are located in a charming building at Janskerkhof 19D, right in the historic centre of Utrecht. Our team consists of four permanent, dedicated caregivers, all of whom have completed specialised vocational or higher education and hold a first aid certificate.
We operate with a vertical group structure, where children of different ages play and learn together. This approach stimulates social development and gives younger children the opportunity to learn from older ones. Our pedagogical approach focuses on providing a safe and familiar environment where every child can develop optimally.
At De Poppenzolder, we believe it's important for children to spend plenty of time outdoors. We regularly use nearby playgrounds and parks in the city. Even the youngest children get sufficient fresh air and can go on discovery trips in nature.
We offer flexible childcare options, allowing parents to choose between half or full days. Our opening hours are tailored to meet the needs of working parents in Utrecht city centre.Read more

Summary
Stichting Kinderdagverblijf De Poppenzolder in Utrecht, a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 14 children (ages 0–4), was inspected on 26 May 2026. Following a recovery offer, the location now meets all quality requirements. Two violations were identified: the safety and health policy was not published on the website, and formal parent committee regulations were missing. Both shortcomings were resolved after the recovery offer of 4 June 2026. Additionally, immediate action was taken on two safety points: a cot in the office was moved to the bedroom, and staff scheduling was adjusted to ensure the four-eyes principle is maintained. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
