About this care
SamSam KDV Bilderdijkstraat is a small-scale daycare centre at Bilderdijkstraat 84-86 in Amsterdam-West, near the Vondelpark. The location features a beautiful deep, walled garden where children can climb, build huts, hide and enjoy being outdoors. We provide care for children from 10 weeks to 4 years, split into a baby group (10 weeks - 18 months) and a toddler group (18 months - 4 years). In the baby group we offer sensory-motor activities with a maximum of 12 children cared for by 3 pedagogical staff. The toddler group features exciting play corners including a home corner, building corner, studio space and a light-and-dark room. At SamSam we work with natural materials, offer organic, sugar-free and vegetarian food, and we go outside every day. We wish every child a SamSam!Read more

Summary
SamSam KDV Bilderdijk is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam with 28 places, divided across a baby and toddler group. The inspection on 7 February 2025 concludes that the location provides responsible day care: children experience emotional safety, receive plenty of personal attention, and are playfully challenged. Group sizes and supervision are appropriate and all staff members hold the correct diplomas and a certificate of conduct (VOG). There were two violations: one staff member did not meet the language requirement and the safety and health policy lacked concrete measures against sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Both violations were resolved through a recovery offer within the investigation period; the language certificate was subsequently submitted and the policy was supplemented with a Safe Sleeping protocol and additional measures. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) therefore advises the municipality not to impose any enforcement measures.
