About this care
Welcome to Kinderopvang de Sleutel, located at Groningenhof 4 in Helmond. We provide daycare (KDV) for children aged 0 to 4 years and after-school care for children up to 12 years. Our daycare center is small-scale with a maximum capacity of 44 children. We are led by owner Jenny Groenendijk and work with a dedicated team of well-trained and enthusiastic childcare professionals.
We focus on the individuality and positivity of each child. We believe every child has unique and positive qualities, and we approach childcare from this strength. By recognizing and encouraging these positive traits, your child grows in self-confidence. Each child receives a personal folder where we regularly record positive observations, such as helping another child or overcoming a fear. These folders are reviewed together with the children, creating pride and happy faces.
We always work with at least two childcare professionals per group, even with ten or fewer children. This increases the quality of care and allows for individual attention. Children are free to be children and learn through play. We support them in areas they find challenging and use their positive qualities to encourage their development.
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Care until 6:30 PM is negotiable. We are officially registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) under number 231268889, which entitles you to childcare allowance.Read more

Summary
GGD Brabant-Zuidoost conducted an unannounced incidental inspection at Kinderopvang de Sleutel in Helmond on 27 August 2026. The reason was an application for early childhood education (VVE) registration. The small-scale private daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 44 places meets all assessed quality requirements for early childhood education, including pedagogical policy, training plan and professional qualifications. The location may offer registered early childhood education from January 2027 onwards. The inspection history shows multiple previous recovery offer (herstelaanbod) trajectories, particularly regarding the early childhood education (VVE) training plan, which had not been fully resolved in 2025. No new violations or areas for improvement were identified in this current inspection.
