About this care
Welcome to Kindcentrum Eigen&Wijzer at Ravenswaaipad 88 in Amsterdam Zuidoost. We provide small-scale childcare for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our team of pedagogical professionals is ready every day to give your child the best possible care, where every child is unique and grows wiser.
At our daycare, we work from the conviction that every child is unique. We offer challenging indoor and outdoor activities that match your child's development and needs. For the youngest children, we provide a safe and familiar environment with loving care, taking into account the natural rhythms of sleeping, eating and playing. We support both breastfeeding and bottle feeding and provide quiet sleeping areas where babies can sleep in cribs or cradles.
For toddlers aged 2 to 4, we offer toddler care and preschool education (VE). We stimulate development in language, speech, thinking, motor skills, play and social-emotional skills in a playful way. Children with a VE indication receive extra guidance to expand their vocabulary, language, speech and motor skills. We work with proven methods so that every child is well prepared for primary education by the age of four.
Our spacious green outdoor area invites exploration and play. We believe in the power of nature experience and outdoor play. Our pedagogical staff guide children in recognizing and expressing their needs, developing their talents and increasing their self-confidence. We work closely with parents and see you as a partner in your child's development.Read more

Violations
- Safe sleeping: a 5-month-old baby was structurally allowed to sleep in the group room or toddler group rather than in a separate bedroom, contrary to the safe sleeping protocol and legislation (resolved after recovery offer)
- Accommodation: insufficient play materials in baby groups and outdoor space, group rooms not appropriately furnished for age and developmental level (resolved after recovery offer)
Summary
The annual inspection of 16 April 2026 at Kindcentrum Eigen&Wijzer (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam presents a mixed picture. The location provides care for 72 children in 4 core groups, including early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VVE) with the Startblokken programme. The pedagogical climate is assessed positively: staff work sensitively, encourage independence, and provide emotional safety. However, two violations were identified that were resolved through a recovery offer (herstelaanbod). First, a 5-month-old baby was structurally allowed to sleep in the group room rather than in a separate bedroom, contrary to the safe sleeping protocol. Second, there was insufficient play material in the baby groups and outdoor space. Both violations have been resolved: the baby received sleep training and new play materials have been delivered and a sandbox installed. Concerns remain about leadership due to frequent changes of location managers (3 in 3 years).
