About this care
Mijn Blokje at Haarlemmermeerstraat 40 in Amsterdam is a small-scale daycare centre that is part of the nationwide organisation Kindercentrum Mijn Blokje. We provide care in one vertical group for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our homely and calm interior, with neutral wall colours and warm materials, helps every child feel at home quickly.
Our location is open 52 weeks a year, Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, allowing working parents flexible use of our childcare services. We follow the Gordon Method: respect, attention and space for each child’s unique character are central. Our pedagogical staff receive regular coaching in this approach, ensuring we provide a safe and stimulating environment every day in which children can develop.
Kindercentrum Mijn Blokje has been active in Amsterdam since 2010 and has grown into an organisation with multiple locations. This specific branch on Haarlemmermeerstraat is characterised by its small scale and the personal approach that comes with it.Read more

Summary
GGD Amsterdam conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 21 January 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Mijn Blokje Zuid B.V. in Amsterdam. The location provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. The general quality assessment shows improvement compared to previous years, partly due to the appointment of a Quality Coordinator at the end of 2025. One violation was identified: an external temporary staff member temporarily did not hold a valid first aid certificate. The location manager discovered this independently, reported it proactively to the GGD, and took immediate action. The violation has since been resolved through a recovery offer. The GGD advises against imposing enforcement measures.
