About this care
Welcome to Nanny Poppins at Hoofddorpplein 22 H in Amsterdam. We are a small-scale daycare centre offering a home-like environment for children aged 0 to 4. Our setting is built around vertical groups: babies/toddlers (0–2 years) and toddlers/preschoolers (1–4 years) grow and learn together, just like in a family.
Our pedagogical staff create a safe, familiar space where every child can be themselves. We are sensitive and responsive, attuned to each child's signals and needs. Daily care moments—nappy changes, feeding, settling to sleep—are valuable play moments filled with songs, sound games and cuddles.
For the youngest children, emotionally focused contact play is central. Older children are gently prepared for primary school: we use daily-routine cards and circle-time conversations to build independence and a sense of time. Thanks to our vertical grouping, younger children learn from older ones, while older children practise helping and taking responsibility.
Our rooms are stocked with age-appropriate materials. A young toddler can already join the home corner alongside older peers and take the next developmental step. We believe that the interaction between children, the dedication of our staff and our cosy, domestic layout together foster every child's growth.
Nanny Poppins Hoofddorpplein is open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and requires a minimum of two days per week. We are a home where children can relax, explore and flourish within a warm, stable community.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 17 February 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Nanny Poppins in Amsterdam shows predominantly good quality with one violation that has since been resolved. The location provides care for a maximum of 24 children in two groups: baby group Tovertasjes (0-2 years) and toddler group Parapluutjes (2-5 years). The pedagogical practice is generally positive, with attention to language development, emotional safety, and respect for children. One area for attention was identified regarding transition moments in the toddler group, where the daily schedule sometimes runs chaotically. The organisation will address this through pedagogical coaching. The only violation concerned food safety: the refrigerator thermometer showed 19°C, while a maximum of 7°C is required. The provider immediately purchased a new thermometer and installed a smart refrigerator with temperature alerts. The violation has been resolved with these measures.
