About this care
Located at Olmenwede 1 in Barendrecht, KDV De Wildernis is part of the child centre surrounding primary school De Trinoom. We provide loving day-care for children aged 0–4 in a green, secure setting with a large garden where outdoor play, gardening and movement are key.
Our single toddler group follows the Montessori principle: ‘Help me to do it myself!’. Each child receives individual guidance and is paired with a dedicated mentor who closely tracks development. An annual parent conversation is scheduled, and during the intake you meet your child’s mentor. A pedagogical coach supports our close-knit, stable team with training and guidance, so you always see familiar faces.
We use the VVE programme Uk & Puk. Its themes appeal to toddlers and stimulate language and speech development. We deliberately keep groups small: quality over quantity. Opening hours are 7 a.m.–6 p.m. You can choose full or half-day care (7 a.m.–12.30 p.m. or 12.30 p.m.–6 p.m.), 52 weeks a year, closed only on official public holidays.
Cancellations or changes can be made easily through our app. For questions or a tour, please call 06-1324 7516. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our safe, green home!Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Wildernis in Barendrecht, part of Norlandia Kinderopvang Rotterdam B.V., provides daycare for 16 children aged 2–4 years. The unannounced inspection on 28 October 2025 showed that the location meets the Childcare Act requirements in almost all areas. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff work sensitively and responsively, stimulate children's development, and apply clear rules. Personnel, accommodation, safety policy, and parent information were also in order. There was one violation: not all employees were familiar with the duty to report, consult, and file charges when suspecting abuse by the operator. Following a recovery offer, this was remedied by discussing it again with the team and making information available in the location file.
