About this care
Welcome to Kinderopvang de Parel, located on the grounds of primary school De Parel at Westersingel 2 in Berkel en Rodenrijs. Starting 1 September 2025 we will offer small-scale, home-like daycare for children from 10 weeks to 4 years in partnership with De Koeienwei.
Our setting has two vertical groups of up to 12 children each. In a vertical group children of different ages play together; toddlers learn from babies and vice versa. Qualified pedagogical staff create a safe and familiar environment in which every child is given space to develop at his or her own pace.
We have a beautiful inner garden and a large playground. The garden is designed according to the natural play principle: natural materials, planting and small hills stimulate imagination and invite discovery. Children go outside every day; weather rarely stops us. We believe children should be allowed to run, climb and – whenever possible – get nicely dirty.
Kinderopvang de Parel works closely with the kindergarten groups of primary school De Parel. The children meet the teachers and the school environment at an early age, making the transition to kindergarten smooth. Parents who later choose a different primary school are of course also very welcome.
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Drop-off is between 7:30 and 8:45 am, pick-up from 4:30 to 5:45 pm, ensuring a calm and personal hand-over.Read more

Summary
Kinderopvang de Parel in Berkel en Rodenrijs is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0-4 with 16 places, located in primary school De Parel. The post-registration inspection showed that the location meets legal requirements on most points. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff act sensitively and responsively, and create an emotionally safe climate. Three violations were identified for which recovery offers were made: unsafe situations involving a bouncer seat harness, a kettle and a shelf that posed safety risks, and insufficient staff knowledge of the duty to report, consult and file official notification. A link to the inspection report was also missing from the website. All violations have since been resolved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to take enforcement measures.
