About this care
Welcome to Daycare De Wiardt, a homely KDV location of Kids First in the heart of Groningen-South. Our modern child centre at Van Lenneplaan 6 provides care for up to 32 children aged 0 to 4 years, divided over two cosy baby and toddler groups. We are housed in a brand-new building that we share with primary school De Tamarisk, the Forum and our own toddler care and after-school care. This unique collaboration gives children a familiar, continuous line from 0 to 12 years.
With us, security, loving attention and development-oriented play are central. Babies sleep peacefully in two separate bedrooms with safe beds and underfloor heating. For toddlers and pre-schoolers there is a sunny discovery garden with water pump, sandpit, slide and a safe sunken sandpit where the very youngest can move freely. We work with the VVE programme Piramide, through which we stimulate language, motor skills and social skills in a playful way. Daily trips to the petting farm and joint exploration of De Tamarisk's school playground are part of the routine.
Our pedagogical team consciously chooses toys and activities that match your child's developmental stage. Fruit, bread and nappies are included, so you can work without worry. We warmly welcome you for a tour and will personally tell you how we offer your child a warm second home.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: June 18, 2026
Strengths
- Staff and groups: all staff members, interns and volunteers hold valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG) declarations and are registered in the persons register
- Health and safety policy is in place, up to date and being implemented in accordance with the policy
- Early childhood education is well organised with qualified staff and meets the statutory hours requirement
- Pedagogical policy is being implemented in practice in accordance with the plan
Shortcomings
- Ensure that in staff scheduling, a first aid-qualified employee is present not only in practice but also in theory per LRK registration
Violations
- On three occasions (10 June 17:30-18:30, 11 June 17:30-18:30, 17 June 17:00-18:30), no qualified adult trained in first aid was present at the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV); the staff member on duty did not hold a valid first aid certificate
Summary
KDV Groningen De Wiardt, part of KidsFirst Kinderopvang, was inspected by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Groningen on 18 June 2026. The location provides daycare for 32 children in a vertical group (0-4 years) and a toddler group (2-4 years), with early childhood education. The annual inspection showed a mixed picture: requirements for staff and groups and the safety policy were met. The pedagogical policy now complies following a recovery offer. One violation remained unresolved: on three occasions, no qualified first aider was present at the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) itself, although one was available at the adjacent after-school care (BSO). The holder acknowledges this and has committed to improving staff scheduling. The GGD advises enforcement.
