About this care

AI
Welcome to Kindergarden Amsterdam Voormalige Stadstimmertuin, our daycare centre in the heart of Amsterdam. We are located in the characteristic former Jewish Lyceum at Voormalige Stadstimmertuin 1, a monumental building with a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Right in the city centre we have a beautiful garden with a chestnut tree, sandbox, vegetable patch and a separate, sheltered play area for the very youngest, complete with discovery mirror. This green oasis offers children aged 0 to 4 plenty of space to play, explore and grow. We work in horizontal groups. We have four baby groups for children aged 0 to 2 and four toddler groups for children aged 2 to 4. In addition, we offer a toddler-plus group specially designed for the oldest toddlers to prepare them for primary school. Our pedagogical staff tailor all materials and activities to the children's developmental stages, ensuring that every child receives the right challenge and guidance. Toddlers have access to an extra room where they can do crafts, paint and take part in other creative activities. We use the interactive movement programme ‘Friends call me Jim’. In our gym 2.0, equipped with light projections, a projector and challenging materials, children go on movement adventures. Through magical stories we stimulate their imagination and experience, allowing them to discover the joy of movement in a playful way. Babies are given a predictable daily routine with plenty of variety between rest and activity. We use materials tailored to their developmental needs, including flat surfaces that support motor development. Our aim is to provide each baby with the rest, care and stimulation needed for healthy development. Feel free to drop by to experience the atmosphere and see how we work. We are happy to share our vision on childcare and show you around our beautiful location.

Violations
All inspected quality requirements are met. The inspector advises the municipality to take note of this report; no enforcement action is required.

Strengths

  • Children feel emotionally safe and secure thanks to consistent, responsive staff members
  • Staff demonstrate sensitive responsiveness and react appropriately to children's cues
  • Good guidance for children in developing social skills and conflict resolution
  • Professional organisation with a pedagogical expert and Kindergarden Academy for staff training

Shortcomings

  • Toddler group spaces could be more challenging with additional play materials and better presentation
  • Parent committee currently has 2 members; expansion to at least 3 members is recommended

Summary

Kindergarden Amsterdam Voormalige Stadstimmertuin is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 120 places across 8 core groups (babies to pre-toddlers). The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 15 December 2025. The location meets all inspected quality requirements. Key strengths are the emotional safety and security children experience, the sensitive responsiveness of staff, and the guidance provided in social skills development. No violations were identified. There are two areas for improvement: the toddler group spaces could present play materials in a more challenging way, and the newly formed parent committee currently has only 2 members while 3 members is recommended. The location manager has indicated that toys have already been collected and redistributed, and that recruitment is underway for additional parent committee members.
