About this care
Welcome to KDV-Verkenners Florijn, our daycare center located at Florijn 45 in Amsterdam Zuidoost. Since 2005 we have been providing childcare services, and since 2019 under the name KDV-Verkenners Florijn. We offer care for up to 28 children aged 0 to 4 years in a homely and familiar environment.
Our vision is that all children and staff are part of our family. Together with parents, we support children in their free development. We believe it's important that children experience joy in their learning environment, get sufficient physical exercise, and can participate in their own activities. We actively communicate with the children and with you as a parent, ensuring there's always alignment between home and our pedagogical practice.
We work with the VVE program Piramide and provide preschool education. Our preschool is open 5 days a week from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. All children follow at least 12 hours of preschool education per week. We collaborate with primary school De Achtsprong for a smooth transition to primary education. Regular parent meetings take place and parents are actively involved in their child's development.
Our baby group offers calm care with attention to individual needs. For toddlers and preschoolers, we organize thematic activities such as crafts and games that match their developmental stage. We have separate sleeping areas and use carefully selected care products.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: February 10, 2026
Strengths
- Staff encourage social development by promoting interaction between children
- Thematic program on 'sick and healthy' stimulates language skills and early numeracy
- Safety and health are well safeguarded, including safe sleeping practices and first aid
- A new pedagogical coach has been appointed to raise quality
- Good cooperation with De Achtsprong primary school for transitions
Shortcomings
- Staff could better anticipate babies' needs rather than reacting after the fact
- The parent committee consists of 2 members; a minimum of 3 members is recommended
- Cooperation with the primary school is sometimes hampered by staff turnover
Violations
- The standard rota schedule in the pedagogical policy was insufficiently described in concrete terms (resolved)
- Implementation of the early childhood education policy was inadequate: children were unable to independently discover and follow their interests sufficiently due to a rigid daily schedule, lack of creative materials, and restrictive actions by staff (resolved)
Summary
The annual inspection of KDV-Verkenners Florijn B.V. in Amsterdam Zuidoost took place on 10 February 2026, with a follow-up inspection on 23 March 2026. The location provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 28 children, divided into a baby group and a toddler group, and delivers early childhood education using the Piramide program. The inspection identified two violations: an insufficiently concrete rota schedule in the pedagogical policy and inadequate implementation of the early childhood education policy. Both violations were resolved within the inspection period. The pedagogical practice showed strong points in the area of social and personal development, although there was room for improvement in anticipating babies' needs. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises that no enforcement measures be imposed.
