About this care
Welcome to Partou Driemaster at Binnenvaart 1 in Amsterdam North! Our daycare center is housed in a spacious and bright building where children aged 0 to 4 develop through play. We work with horizontal groups: separate baby groups for the youngest and toddler groups for the older children. The group spaces are cozy and clearly arranged so that every child feels safe and secure.
With us, everything revolves around free play and discovery. Children choose for themselves whether they want to do crafts inside, build in the construction corner, or prefer to run, cycle, and climb outside in our large green garden. We regularly take trips to the forest, playground, or petting zoo nearby. Additionally, we work with the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program, so toddlers are playfully prepared for primary school.
Our pedagogical staff provide a warm and stable environment. Every child receives the attention they need. We use the Partou app so that parents can follow the day and receive photos and reports. Everything is included: diapers, wipes, bottle feeding, fruit, and healthy snacks. We take allergies and dietary requirements into account. Feel free to come by for a tour and experience the pleasant atmosphere yourself!Read more

Summary
Driemaster is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam with 44 places, part of Smallsteps B.V. (in collaboration with Partou). The location provides preschool education to three groups: Schippers (half-day, ages 2-4), Kuipje (vertical group ages 0-4), and Matrozen (VE group ages 2-4, since February 2025). This follow-up inspection was prompted by a municipal indication following three violations at the annual inspection of 30 June 2025: a substitute staff member without a VE certificate, a staff member without the required language proficiency, and insufficient staff on both the baby group and the VE group. No new violations were identified during this inspection. The location has implemented new working methods, including stricter qualification checks and improved communication in case of the location manager's absence. The team is stable with permanent staff and an additional deployed staff member in the baby group.
