Summary

Peuteropvang Villa Terbregge in Rotterdam provides early childhood education to children aged 2–4 using the Montessori method. The inspection on 30 January 2025 found that the pedagogical practice is good: children are actively supervised, there is a safe pedagogical climate and parents are well involved. All staff are also correctly registered and hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). There were two violations: the pedagogical policy contained insufficient concrete information about group composition, and staff had inadequate knowledge of reporting, consultation and notification obligations. Both issues were resolved within the set timeframe through a recovery offer. A structural shortcoming remains: the provision of 480 hours of early childhood education in 1.5 years does not meet the mandatory 960 hours. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce.
