About this care
Welcome to PSZ ’t Poppeschoentje, part of Kindcentrum Rijpelberg located at Rijpelplein 1 in Helmond. We provide toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 in a safe, warm environment that invites both play and learning. Our spacious, naturally designed outdoor playground and small-scale setting (maximum 16 children) ensure personal attention and familiar faces.
Together with primary school OBS De Straap we share one building, making the later transition to primary school smooth and familiar. We use the VVE programme Startblokken to practise language, numeracy and social skills through play. Activities match the toddler’s world: we sing, craft, build, hide and discover. Each morning starts at 8:30 and ends at 12:30; parents choose one to four mornings per week.
Our stable team of pedagogical professionals guides the children with patience and joy. We value parental involvement: feel free to drop in, follow your child’s development and have a chat any time. Together we ensure every child feels seen and valued, entering primary school with a solid foundation.Read more

Summary
GGD Brabant-Zuidoost conducted an annual inspection on 5 December 2025 at Kindcentrum Rijpelberg - Poppeschoentje in Helmond, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 16 toddlers (ages 2-4) operated by Spring Kinderopvang. The location provides early childhood education through the Startblokken programme and cooperates with primary school De Straap. Two violations were identified during the unannounced visit, both of which were recovered through a recovery offer. The pedagogical policy plan did not match practice (opening hours) and the early childhood education training plan lacked concrete dates for training activities. Both violations were recovered within the set deadline. The pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, safety and health were immediately compliant with legislation and regulations. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Helmond not to take enforcement measures.
