About this care

AI
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Guppie, located at Duivenpad 12 in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg. Since 2001, we have been providing small-scale childcare on a unique spot at the edge of the Lage Bergse forest. Our daycare center is situated among the sports fields of Hillegersberg, where your child feels at home like a guppy in water. We consciously choose to remain small-scale with two vertical groups of maximum 13 children each. This means children of different ages play and learn together, just like in a warm family setting. Our permanent team of qualified pedagogical staff knows every child and parent personally. These familiar faces provide peace and continuity, which is essential for young children's development. In our homely atmosphere, we teach children to interact respectfully with each other. We recognize that every child is unique and communicates in their own way. Due to our small scale, we can optimally respond to individual needs. Whether your child needs extra rest, has a need for movement, or requires specific attention: we ensure there is space for every child to develop at their own pace. Inside, we offer a warm living room atmosphere where children feel safe. Outside, we have our own enclosed garden where children can play to their heart's content. Our location at the edge of the forest also provides plenty of opportunities for natural discovery trips and outdoor activities. When weather permits, we spend a lot of time outdoors, as outdoor play is essential for young children's development. As a parent, you are warmly welcome to come and take a look. We are happy to make time for a tour and a personal introduction. Together with you, we look at how we can best meet your child's and family's needs. With us, everything revolves around trust, personal attention, and a safe environment where your child can develop optimally.

2
Violations
The provider now meets all inspected quality requirements following recovery. The annual inspection shows a predominantly positive picture with two resolved violations.

Strengths

  • Pedagogical practice meets all requirements: emotional safety, personal and social competence, and norms and values
  • Personnel matters are in order: Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) checks, Persons Register enrollment, qualification requirements and language proficiency all satisfied
  • Staff-to-child ratio was correct on the day of inspection
  • Parent committee is active with four members
  • Complaints procedure and dispute committee affiliation are properly arranged
  • Information provision to parents via the website is adequate

Violations

  • Pedagogical policy: missing concrete description of frameworks for deviation from the staff-to-child ratio (resolved via recovery offer)
  • Safety and health policy: loose artificial turf, loose cloths on the fence and bulky waste in the outdoor area not in line with the action plan (resolved via recovery offer)

Summary

Kindercentrum Guppie in Rotterdam was inspected on 5 August 2026. It is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0–4 with 32 places and two groups, located on a sports complex. The pedagogical practice, personnel matters and parental rights were in order immediately. Two points were not in order: the pedagogical policy lacked a concrete description of frameworks for deviation from the staff-to-child ratio, and the safety and health policy had shortcomings in the outdoor area (loose artificial turf, loose cloths on the fence and bulky waste). For both issues, a recovery offer was issued that the provider successfully fulfilled. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement action.
