About this care
Welcome to Het Paradijsje, a small-scale daycare centre located at Wilhelmina van Pruisenlaan 419 in Gouda. We provide care for children from 6 weeks to 4 years old in two horizontal age groups: a baby group and a toddler group. This structure allows us to tailor care, activities and development exactly to the needs of infants and toddlers.
Our location offers up to 34 places and is part of Kinderdagverblijf Het Paradijsje V.O.F. The rooms are decorated in a calm, homely style so every child feels at home quickly. Thanks to our limited size we know every child and parent personally – a reassuring fact for both you and your child.
We believe every child is unique and should be given space to grow at his or her own pace. Playing, sleeping, eating and cuddling follow a fixed, familiar daily rhythm. Outside we have our own garden where children can enjoy fresh air and burn off energy every day.
In short, Het Paradijsje focuses on warm, personal care. We offer your child a safe second home in which to develop optimally from baby to independent toddler.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Het Paradijsje in Gouda presents a mixed picture. The location meets the quality requirements for staff and groups and parental rights, but has a shortcoming in the area of early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). A staff member in the toddler group Sterretjes lacks the required language level 3F for the Reading component, meaning both the requirement for appropriate professional qualifications and the requirement for sufficient VE staff per eight children are not met. The provider has submitted a response stating that the staff member does in fact possess the required qualifications, but that this is not clearly stated on the diploma. The staff member has now scheduled a re-examination for Reading. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff know the children well, work with recognizable daily rhythms and provide emotional safety. The Uk and Puk program is used for early childhood education.
