About this care
Peutergroep het Windas is part of Stichting Peuteropvang Schiedam and is located within the welcoming Het Windas primary school at Nachtegaallaan 2 in Schiedam. We provide childcare for children aged 2.5 to 4 years during 40 school weeks per year. Our preschool group works closely with the school, ensuring a smooth transition to group 1.
Our focus is on discovery, play and learning. We offer a rich variety of activities in movement, art, nature and language. Toddlers learn the names and colors of fruits and then get to buy fruit themselves in our vegetable shop. We regularly go on nature discovery trips, searching for insects and plants. We also have toddler gym where children move and play together with friends. We encourage language development through lots of talking and storytelling. Sometimes we join activities with the primary school or visit the after-school care where older siblings are.
All our activities are designed to challenge children and prepare them for primary school. We work with the VVE program Startblokken, which gives extra attention to language, math and social skills. Our experienced childcare professionals provide a safe and stimulating environment where each child can develop at their own pace.
Peutergroep het Windas is open Monday to Friday in morning and afternoon sessions. We offer flexible childcare, with parents choosing 2 or 3 sessions per week. For children with a VVE indication, 5 sessions are possible. Our location has its own play area and uses the school's playground.Read more

Summary
Peuteropvang Het Windas in Schiedam, part of Stichting Peuteropvang Schiedam/Mundo Kinderopvang, was inspected on 7 October 2025. The toddler daycare provides half-day care to 16 children aged 2.5 to 4 years in one group, located within primary school Het Windas. All assessed quality requirements are in order this time, including pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, early childhood education, and the duty to report, consult and file official notifications. This is an improvement compared to the previous inspection of 14 May 2024, when violations were identified regarding early childhood education (failure to meet language level 3F for one staff member) and the duty to report, consult and file official notifications. The holder made use of the recovery offer for the latter subject and resolved the violation. The language deficiency of the staff member was addressed by no longer formally deploying them and having them obtain the certificate. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff work sensitively and respectfully, and stimulate children through play. The early childhood education follows the Startblokken method and parents are actively involved.
