About this care
Welcome to Kindcentrum Oostkroost, located on the edge of the Oosteinde district in Aalsmeer. We are a spacious and cozy child centre with 50 places, offering care for children aged 0 to 4 years in two vertical groups. Our location features large group rooms with a warm living-room atmosphere, wide corridors and plenty of natural light. We have our own studio where children can explore their creativity and a gym where we provide toddler gym four times a week. In addition, we have three challenging outdoor playgrounds: a sheltered patio for the very youngest, a safe playground for children aged 1 to 4 and an extra play area for older children. Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to guide children on their journey of discovery. We work with themes such as the seasons and offer activities that connect with the world of young children. With us, children are allowed to play and grow at their own pace and according to their own interests. Our team, led by location manager Petra van Gilst, is known for its involvement and personal attention to every child and every parent. We are open 52 weeks a year from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm and have immediate availability on most days without a waiting list.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: August 4, 2025

- Good stimulation of independence and personal skills
- Stable team with permanent staff and effective collaboration with the after-school care (BSO)

Summary
Kindcentrum Oostkroost in Aalsmeer is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with two vertical groups for a maximum of 32 children (ages 0-4). The annual inspection of 4 August 2025 shows a stable organization with responsible day care. The pedagogical practice is strong: staff work sensitively, stimulate independence, and guide social interactions well. The team is stable with permanent staff and good internal collaboration with the after-school care (BSO). One point of attention concerns the indoor climate during extreme heat. The old building with a flat roof heats up quickly; the existing air coolers and fans prove insufficiently effective. The location manager has anticipated this by renting additional air conditioners for September 2025 and making a plan for summer 2026. All statutory quality requirements are met.
