About this care
Welcome to daycare De Stad Op Stoom, located in the monumental building of the Hannie Schaftschool in the heart of Haarlem. We provide care for up to 28 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our daycare is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
Our location is fully designed according to our own vision. For the youngest children we have cheerful carpeting, and for the older children we have exciting play corners. We have a cozy living room kitchen where we cook healthy meals together. Outside we have no less than two gardens to romp around in. For the green thumbs we have created vegetable gardens with tubs full of herbs and tomatoes.
As part of Op Stoom, we believe in the importance of the early years. We pay attention to children's development in a playful way, where both big and small things matter. Our pedagogical staff take time for care moments, play peek-a-boo games and put into words what the children see and experience.
Daycare De Stad Op Stoom is officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 646044485. This allows you as a parent to apply for childcare allowance. We are under the supervision of the GGD Kennemerland.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Stad Op Stoom in Haarlem was inspected on 14 July 2026 by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland. The day care for 28 children (ages 0-4) generally meets the quality requirements. The pedagogical practice is sound, children are placed in fixed core groups with permanent staff members, and personnel administration is in order. However, one violation was identified: no parent committee has been established, while the location places more than 50 children. The holder has made efforts (poster, email, personal approach), but this has not resulted in a complete committee. A recovery offer concerned the lack of concrete descriptions in the pedagogical work plan regarding core groups and staff deployment; this has been resolved. The advice to the municipality is to enforce regarding the missing parent committee, but not regarding the resolved matter.
