Summary
Peuteropvang Bloementuin in Rotterdam was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 7 April 2026. The location provides toddler daycare (peuteropvang) with pre-school education for 32 children aged 2 to 4 years. The pedagogical climate and practice are assessed positively: there is a warm, safe atmosphere with clear routines and committed staff. Two violations were identified for which a recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued: the pedagogical work plan for pre-school education was insufficiently concretely described, and the safety and health policy contained deficiencies in the action plan. Both have since been resolved. A third violation concerns the mandatory reporting, consultation, and filing obligations: staff have insufficient knowledge of how to act when suspecting abuse by the operator. The operator has initiated additional actions. The GGD advises enforcement.
