Kinderdagverblijf Nemo

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice: sensitive and responsive approach to children with attention to emotional safety, structure, and autonomy
• Good stimulation of children's personal and social competence
• Reporting protocol for domestic violence and child abuse is well embedded
• Staff members have sufficient knowledge of reporting, consultation, and mandatory notification obligations
• Sufficient qualified staff for early childhood education present
• Pedagogical policy staff member for early childhood education is deployed adequately

Violations

• Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE): not all children can receive 960 hours of early childhood education within one and a half years due to insufficient group capacity and hours offered. The Zeepaardjes, Schildpadjes, and Dolfijntjes groups both require Wednesday morning, but the combined groups cannot accommodate all children from these groups.

Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Nemo in Rotterdam, part of Stichting Katholieke Peuteropvang, provides half-day care to 32 children aged 2-4 years. The annual inspection of 3 November 2025 shows a predominantly positive picture with good pedagogical practice and adequate safety measures. One violation was identified: the location does not offer all children the legally required 960 hours of early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) within one and a half years. This is due to insufficient group scheduling and available hours. The holder acknowledges the shortfall and is working on expansion with an additional group. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
