About this care
Welcome to Kindergarden Leiden Raamsteeg, our daycare centre located right in the heart of Leiden. Housed in a beautiful historic building at Raamsteeg 2C, we offer space, light and tranquillity. With up to 100 places, we provide care for children from 2 months to 4 years in horizontal groups, bringing together peers in an environment tailored exactly to their stage of development.
Our baby groups follow your child’s natural rhythm. Feeding is always one-to-one, on a lap and in complete calm. Each month we focus on a different theme that stimulates the senses. Special corners invite your baby to explore play materials; this layout limits stimuli so your child can play undisturbed. Toddlers and preschoolers are offered both rest and challenge, exactly what they need at that moment.
Outdoor time is just as important as indoors. Our adventurous garden is designed entirely around young children’s world of experience: a hill to climb and roll down, a bamboo forest to wander through and a watercourse where you can sail boats and build dams. We encourage children to move, explore and experience nature, always under the watchful eye of our pedagogical staff.
Every day we cook fresh, healthy meals in our own kitchen. Bread meals, hot meals, fruit and drinks are all included, so your child is always well cared for. We are easy to reach with paid parking at the door and many schools within walking distance. At Kindergarden Leiden Raamsteeg, children grow and develop in a safe, loving environment that is perfectly tailored to them.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: June 23, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice: sensitive and responsive interaction between childcare professionals and children
- Childcare professionals stimulate personal competencies and show involvement
- Clear rules and agreements, active transmission of norms and values
- Sufficiently qualified staff and correct staff-child ratio
- Good safety and health policy with concrete protocols
- Professional approach during lunch with group singing and attention for individual children
Violations
- Pedagogical policy contained incorrect description regarding incidental combining of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and after-school care (BSO) groups, which conflicts with the Childcare Act (art. 1.50 para. 2)
Summary
The annual inspection on 23 June 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kindergarden Leiden Raam steeg showed predominantly good results. The location with 100 childcare places for ages 0-4 meets the quality requirements for staff and groups, safety and health. However, there was a violation regarding the pedagogical climate: the pedagogical policy incorrectly described that daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and after-school care (BSO) groups could be combined on an incidental basis, which is not permitted by law. Following a recovery offer, the holder adjusted the policy and the location now meets all requirements. The pedagogical practice was good: childcare professionals showed sensitive interaction, stimulated personal and social development, and applied clear rules. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
