About this care
Welcome to IJplein, our daycare center located at Gedempte Insteekhaven 82 in Amsterdam. We are part of TintelTuin and provide childcare for children from 0 to 4 years old. Our location is uniquely situated along the IJ river and pays special attention to different cultures.
Our daycare is a warm and safe place where children play, grow and develop. We only offer full-day care, without the possibility of hourly or half-day care. This is because we believe there should always be sufficient pedagogical staff present in each group.
For the youngest children, we provide the same care and attention as all TintelTuin locations. We work with experienced childcare professionals who specialize in the development of babies and toddlers. We also offer preschool education (VE) programs, with extra attention to language development, motor skills, social relationships and creativity.
As part of TintelTuin, we follow their vision on childcare. We believe it's important that children can develop in a safe environment and that parents feel carefree when their child is with us.Read more

Violations
Inspection date: February 3, 2026
Shortcomings
- The provider has not adequately followed up on the measures from the municipal order dated 26 November 2025

- The provider incorrectly characterizes staffing issues as incidental rather than structural
Violations
- The ratio between the number of early childhood education (VVE) professionals and the actual number of children present in the group is at least one VVE professional per eight children (not complied with on 9 of 20 days, including formative deployment of a work-based learning (BBL) student and temporary staff without a VVE certificate or appropriate language level)
- Professionals hold an appropriate qualification as included in the most recently commenced collective labor agreement for Childcare (not complied with on 3 of 20 days: temporary staff without an appropriate diploma and without supplementary infant/toddler training in the baby group)
- The provider of a childcare center holds a copy of documentary evidence showing that a Dutch-speaking professional meets the language requirement IKK
- The provider of the childcare center takes the measures within the term set in the order or injunction (measures from the order of 26 November 2025 insufficiently followed up)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 3 February 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation into daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) IJplein of TintelTuin in Amsterdam-Noord. The inspection followed a municipal order of 26 November 2025, after violations regarding staff qualifications were identified in August 2025. The location has 4 groups for 60 children. The investigation shows that the provider has insufficiently followed up on the measures from the order. In the early childhood education (VVE) group, unqualified staff were deployed on 9 of 20 days, including a work-based learning (BBL) student deployed formatively and temporary staff without correct certificates or language level. In the baby group as well, correct diplomas and infant/toddler training were lacking on 3 days. The location manager cites staff shortages and absenteeism as reasons, but the GGD concludes that this is structural, not incidental. New employees have been hired, but the violations have not yet been resolved.
