About this care
Welcome to Kinderdagverblijf Schip à Hoi at Pop Dijkemaweg 72a in Groningen. Open since May 1, 2023, we offer daycare for children aged 0 to 4 years with a total capacity of 32 places across three playgroups: baby group Vlindertuin (0-2 years, max 8), toddler group Tovertuin (2-4 years, max 12), and vertical group Bloementuin (0-4 years, max 12). We offer early childhood education (VE) using the KIKI program on the Tovertuin. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
At Schip à Hoi, we believe every child is naturally curious and eager to discover. In a safe and familiar environment that aligns with home, we give children the space to grow at their own pace. With loving attention and enriching experiences, we help them explore the world around them step by step. Our facility features light, homely playrooms, separate sleeping rooms with 12 sleeping spots plus 2 outdoor sleeping huts, and both front and back outdoor play areas.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection of 13 July 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Schip à Hoi in Groningen shows a mixed picture. The childcare provision meets requirements for safety, health (first aid), and parental rights. The pedagogical practice is strong, with attentive and responsive staff. However, three violations were identified: the pedagogical policy insufficiently concretely describes mixed-age groups, there are shortcomings in Certificate of Good Conduct registration and linking in the Childcare Personnel Register for trainees, and the stability of care provision is compromised by placing after-school care (BSO) children ad hoc at daycare center (KDV) groups. Additionally, one staff member for early childhood education was insufficiently qualified. The holder received a recovery offer (herstelaanbod) and indicated that working methods have been adjusted. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
