About this care
Welcome to KDV Pinkeltjesland at Schonebergerweg 7 in Rotterdam! For 28 years we have been a trusted, warm place where children aged 0 to 4 can safely grow and develop. Our location has room for 44 children, divided into four horizontal groups that are precisely tailored to the age and developmental stage of your child. Each group has dedicated, professional childcare staff with at least an MBO diploma in Social Pedagogical Work (SPW-3 or 4) and a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). Together with two pedagogical coaches, they ensure that every child receives personal attention.
Play-based learning is at the heart of our approach. Every day starts at 10:00 a.m. outdoors: our own playground and the adjacent city playground Binnenste Buiten invite exploration and movement. We also organize monthly themed activities and offer toddler gym classes twice a week. Excursions are part of the program too; we regularly go out to discover the world beyond our doors. Everything we do aligns with the latest insights from early childhood education (VVE), so your child is well prepared for primary school.
Practically, we have you covered. You don’t need to bring diapers; they are included. We provide three daily meals plus a snack, all freshly prepared by our own kitchen staff. Cameras in every group and a secure entrance guarantee a safe environment. Through the Flex app you can see how your child is doing at any moment and stay in direct contact with our team.
In short, at KDV Pinkeltjesland your child feels at home while growing through play. We warmly invite you for a tour so you can experience for yourself why generations of parents have entrusted us with their children with complete peace of mind.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Pinkeltjesland in Rotterdam was inspected on 20 January 2026. The annual inspection shows that the location generally functions well. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff interact with children in a sensitive and responsive manner, parents are welcomed personally, and there is clear structure. Staffing levels and qualification requirements are now in order, unlike earlier inspections in 2024 and 2025 when violations were identified. There was one violation: the complaints procedure did not fully meet legal requirements (missing timeframes and communication agreements). The provider made use of the recovery offer and adjusted the procedure. One point of attention concerns the safety policy regarding Bumbo seats, for which a more detailed description of risks is advised.
