About this care
Childcare center Sprookjesrijk at Sophialaan 51H in Amsterdam is a cozy, small-scale daycare with two vertical groups, plenty of natural light and a garden with a covered play area. Opened in January, this location offers care for children from 2 months to 4 years. The daily rhythm provides structure, with healthy meals served throughout the day.
We work with vertical groups where younger and older children learn and play together, strengthening the group feeling and social development. The location has two separate sleeping rooms. We also make small outings to the neighborhood supermarket or bakery.
Our care is all-inclusive: diapers, freshly prepared meals, care products, daily fresh fruit and drinks are included in the price. We value open communication with parents and work together to provide a safe and stimulating environment for your child.Read more

GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: June 2, 2026
Strengths
- The childcare worker acts calmly and maintains contact with all children during caregiving tasks
- Emotional safety is provided through predictable behavior and clear communication
- Children's independence is encouraged (spreading their own bread, open cup)
- Social competencies are actively guided
- Pedagogical policy is elaborated in a work plan and is being implemented
- Sufficiently qualified staff with appropriate diplomas and Certificate of Conduct (VOG)
- Adequate backup supervision arrangement within 15 minutes
Shortcomings
- Reorganize staff scheduling to ensure the four-eyes principle is fully guaranteed on all days
- Ensure physical presence of a second adult rather than relying solely on camera monitoring on Fridays
Violations
- Hand and diaper-changing hygiene not adhered to: childcare worker does not wash hands and clean the changing mat after every diaper change (resolved following recovery offer on 3 July 2026)
- Four-eyes principle insufficiently guaranteed on Fridays: the manager works alone, the second adult is not physically present but only available via camera, which is insufficient
Summary
Kinderdagverblijf Sprookjesrijk in Amsterdam, a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for a maximum of 10 children (0-4 years), was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 2 June 2026. The annual inspection shows a mixed picture. The pedagogical quality is good: the childcare worker provides emotional safety, stimulates independence and social skills. However, there were two violations. A recovery offer was made for non-compliance with hand and diaper-changing hygiene; this was resolved following a second visit on 3 July 2026. A second violation concerns the insufficient guarantee of the four-eyes principle on Fridays, when a manager works alone and the second adult is not physically present but only monitors via camera. The provider disputes this conclusion in her statement of objections.
