About this care
Welcome to Partou Millinxparkhuis, our small-scale daycare centre located at Millinxstraat 69 in Rotterdam Charlois. Housed in the Millinxparkhuis community centre that we share with the after-school care, everyone knows each other, creating a warm and familiar atmosphere.
Children from 0 to 4 years old find a second home here. The cheerfully decorated rooms feature cosy play corners: a quiet nook for the very youngest and an adventurous area for toddlers and pre-schoolers. In the craft corner we model with clay, in the shop we buy ice-cream, and in the construction corner the most beautiful castles rise. We work in horizontal groups so that every age receives the attention it needs.
Our large play and discovery garden is a paradise for curious children. Babies safely explore their own snug garden, while older children ride along the cycle track or muck about with sand and mud. We go outside every day because outdoor play supports healthy development. 'Who gets to the slide first!' is a phrase we hear often.
Learning through play is at the heart of what we do. We provide pre-school education (VE) using the Uk en Puk programme so that your child is well prepared for primary school – from spreading a sandwich and putting on coat and shoes to making friends. Every milestone, from first steps to first words, can be followed in our own Partou app.
Fresh, healthy meals are served daily, tailored to young children. For the very youngest we provide bottle feeding and a quiet sleeping area. Location manager Marcelina Burggaaf and her team are ready to support every child's development with love and expertise, offering equal opportunities for all.
Feel free to drop by for a tour and experience the warm, homely atmosphere of Millinxparkhuis yourself.Read more

GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: July 2, 2026
Shortcomings
- Heat protocol and work instructions need to be more location-specific and concrete, including clear upper limits for temperature and CO2
- Staff require better instruction and oversight on how to respond to high temperatures and CO2 levels
- Temperature and CO2 monitoring must be carried out and recorded systematically and correctly
- Measures for orange/red CO2 levels need to be implemented more effectively
Violations
- Safety and health policy is inadequate: insufficient practical guidance for staff during extreme heat and poor air quality, temperature and CO2 not monitored and recorded in accordance with policy, children put down to sleep at temperatures above 25°C without adequate measures, staff not acting in accordance with Partou policy (repeatedly identified during three visits following an earlier recovery offer of 26-02-2026 that was not fully resolved)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond investigated the Millinxparkhuis daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) of Smallsteps B.V. in Rotterdam following an earlier unresolved violation regarding safety and health policy. During three unannounced visits on warm summer days (July 2026), it emerged that the heat protocol and ventilation policy were insufficiently location-specific and staff did not know how to respond to high temperatures and CO2 levels. Children were sleeping at temperatures above 25°C, CO2 meters were not being read correctly, and measures were lacking. Only after repeated requests did the operator submit an action plan and decision document with concrete upper limits. The GGD concludes that insufficiently responsible childcare was provided and advises enforcement.
