About this care
Welcome to Peuteropvang De Speeltuin, a warm and small-scale toddler care centre located inside Kindcentrum De Heijberg at Heijbergstraat 4 in Rotterdam. We offer a safe and familiar place where children aged 2 to 4 discover who they are and what they can do through play.
Our toddler care is open Monday to Friday from 08:15 to 12:15. At 08:15 the door of “De Speeltuin” opens and you can bring your child. Through playful, development-oriented activities in small groups every child is seen and followed in their development. Children explore the world playfully; they are allowed a lot and obliged to nothing! Every child is unique and our toys and activities are tailored accordingly.
We provide a rich and varied programme in which music, movement, art and language have a fixed place. Children sing, dance, craft and listen to stories. We pay a lot of attention to language and speech development and offer a preschool education programme (VVE) that connects with the world of experience of toddlers. Outdoor play takes place daily in our own, safe playground with sandbox, slide and bicycles. Nature is our biggest teaching material: we feel the wind, smell flowers and watch insects.
Are you curious? Feel free to drop by between 9 and 10 AM to experience the atmosphere and get to know Peuteropvang De Speeltuin.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: March 19, 2026
Strengths
- Sufficient indoor and outdoor play space for the requested number of childcare places
- Group composition and size comply with regulations
- Fixed core groups and mentor structure provide stability for children
- Pedagogical policy staff member was deployed effectively to coach the new group
- Permanent staff members have been hired for the new group
Violations
- Pedagogical policy was insufficiently concrete: missing descriptions of child development and alignment with primary education, activities outside the core group, and emotional safety during absence of permanent staff (remediated via recovery offer)
- Safety and health policy had an incomplete action plan: missing measures for doors/windows, electricity, indoor climate, hygiene and transgressive behaviour (remediated via recovery offer)
Summary
Peuteropvang De Speeltuin in Rotterdam, part of Stichting Opwijs Opvang, underwent an unannounced incidental inspection on 19 March 2026. The inspection assessed whether expansion from 16 to 32 childcare places and care for children aged 0-4 years would be possible. Two quality requirements were initially not in order: the pedagogical policy lacked concrete descriptions of child development, activities outside the core group and emotional safety during absence of permanent staff. The safety and health policy also had an incomplete action plan without measures for doors, electricity, indoor climate, hygiene and transgressive behaviour. Both violations have been remediated via recovery offer. Strong points are the stable group composition, sufficient spaces and good staff deployment. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to grant the expansion.
