About this care
Het Rozentuintje is a small-scale daycare for children aged 1.5 to 4 years, located at Overtoom 403 H in Amsterdam. We operate from an anthroposophical view of the human being and provide care for a maximum of 6 children per day, Monday through Friday. In our homely environment we give children space to develop at their own pace, with attention to rhythm, sensory experiences and free play. Our pedagogical approach is attuned to the developmental stage of the young child and offers a warm, secure foundation for further growth.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
When your child starts, we agree together on the settling-in process. This differs for each child. Often we begin in the morning with both parent and child present. Then your child stays with us alone for a short period, gradually building up to a full day.

Violations
Inspection date: April 8, 2026
Strengths
- Clear anthroposophical pedagogical vision that is well implemented in practice

- Good communication with parents about incidents
- Sufficiently qualified staff with appropriate diplomas and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)

Violations
- The two-person rule (4-ogenprincipe) was insufficiently guaranteed: there was always only one professional staff member alone with the group, the policy was not concrete enough, camera surveillance was insufficiently developed, parents were unjustifiably deployed as part of the two-person policy, and too much reliance was placed on coincidental circumstances (workmen, delivery persons, neighbors)
Summary
KDV het Rozentuintje is a small-scale anthroposophical daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam with 6 places for children aged 1.5 to 4 years. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 8 April 2026. The facility offers a home-like environment with natural materials and works with fixed rituals and strong attention to children's self-direction. One violation was identified: the two-person rule (4-ogenprincipe) was insufficiently guaranteed because there was always only one professional staff member alone with the group. The policy was too vague, with insufficient concrete measures such as camera surveillance and deploying parents. Following a recovery offer (herstelaanbod), the holder tightened the policy with measures including daily review of camera footage, unannounced visits by partners and an upstairs neighbor. The violation has thereby been resolved. The GGD advises that no measures be imposed.
