Kinderopvang Kleinrijkje de Klimop

Strengths

• Emotional safety is adequately safeguarded; staff members make eye contact and communicate with babies
• Children's social competencies are adequately stimulated; peers are included in activities with one another
• Safety and health policy is now in order; staff act in accordance with policy and children no longer have access to the kitchen
• The pedagogical coach is intensively present at the location to guide staff members

Shortcomings

• Pedagogical policy: despite discussions with staff members, practice does not always align with the pedagogical policy plan
• Pedagogical practice: children are insufficiently challenged in developing personal competencies; staff members are directive and controlling, insufficiently respect children's autonomy, and do not tailor activities to individual needs
• Pedagogical practice: children are insufficiently encouraged to openly become acquainted with generally accepted values and norms
• Staff qualification requirements: an unqualified staff member without training for working with zero-year-olds was deployed for more than three hours per day in the baby group on 20 May, 21 May and 28 May 2026

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 28 May 2026 concerns a follow-up inspection at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kleinrijkje de Klim op in Rotterdam, part of VOF BSO Kleinrijkje. The location provides daycare for 16 children aged 0-4 years in one group, housed in primary school De Klim op. The inspection focused on four previously unmet quality requirements. The safety and health policy is now in order. Unfortunately, the location once again fails to meet the requirements for pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, and staff qualification requirements. The pedagogical practice shows shortcomings: children are insufficiently challenged in their personal competencies and autonomy, and staff members do not always act in accordance with the established policy. An employee without the correct qualification and without training for zero-year-olds was deployed in the baby group; this person no longer works at the location and is pursuing additional training. The GGD advises enforcement by the municipality.
