About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Silvester, a small-scale daycare centre located at Dudokpad 1 in Leiden. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years, divided into two horizontal groups: babies (0-2) and toddlers (2-4). Each group has its own room, while sharing one large indoor play area and a safe outdoor playground. We are also members of the playground association around the corner, giving us extra outdoor space every day.
Our qualified pedagogical staff follow the Early Childhood Education programme ‘Startblokken’. Each morning we offer an activity such as music, dance, language or arts and crafts. A fixed, calm daily rhythm guides us: 09:30 fruit snack, 10:30 activity, 11:30 hot meal, 12:30 nap, 14:30 bread meal and 15:30 outdoor play. When the weather is nice, children sleep outside in special outdoor sleeping prams.
We believe parents should be able to hand over care without worry. Therefore we provide nappies, formula feeding, sleeping products and sunscreen. Allergies and dietary requirements are discussed individually so every child can grow up safely and healthily. Communication is easy through the parent portal app KidsVision, where you receive photos and daily reports.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. Half-day care (until 12:30) is also possible. We look forward to meeting you at Kinderdagverblijf Silvester!Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: May 8, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice meets all requirements: staff communicate sensitively, tailor activities to developmental level, and provide emotional security
- All staff hold valid qualifications and certifications
- VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) registration and personnel records are complete and correct
- Care takes place in one stable core group
- Reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations are well secured
Violations
- The pedagogical policy plan lacked concrete frameworks for deviating from the staff-child ratio under the three-hour rule
- No attendance lists with arrival and departure times were kept, making compliance with the three-hour rule impossible to verify
- Safe sleeping protocol not followed: the 10-15 minute check interval was not met (exceeded 25 minutes)
- Hand hygiene during nappy changing insufficient: hands not washed after changing, after wiping nose, and after using rubber gloves
Summary
Kinderdagverblijf Silvester in Leiden was inspected on 8 May 2026 by GGD Hollands Midden (Municipal Health Service). The location provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for a maximum of 16 children (0-4 years) in one core group. The pedagogical practice, qualification requirements, VOG registration, group stability, and reporting obligations immediately complied with the law. Violations were identified in three areas for which a recovery offer was made: the pedagogical policy lacked frameworks for the three-hour rule, no attendance lists were kept for verifying the staff-child ratio, and the safety and health policy was not followed regarding safe sleeping (the 10-15 minute check interval was not adhered to) and hand hygiene during nappy changing. The provider resolved all shortcomings within the deadline with revised protocols, attendance lists, and team instructions. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
