Violations

• The pedagogical policy plan contained insufficient concrete description of the maximum size and age composition of core groups (discrepancy between plan and practice: baby group 0-2 years maximum 9 children, vertical group 1-3 years maximum 12 children, toddler group 2-4 years maximum 16 children, while the plan stated different numbers)

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond of Kiddoozz - Van Onselenstraat, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Rotterdam with 37 places for children aged 0 to 4 years, shows that the location functions predominantly well. The pedagogical practice, early childhood education, staffing, safety and accommodation meet the legal requirements. One violation was identified: the pedagogical policy plan contained insufficient concrete descriptions of the maximum size and age composition of groups and the organization of activities outside the core group. The provider has used the recovery offer and resolved the shortcomings. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam not to apply enforcement.
