About this care
Welcome to Pinokkio Daycare at Tuinlaan 60 in Schiedam. Since 1997 we have been providing familiar, small-scale childcare on this very spot for children aged 0 to 4. Our homely premises accommodate up to 69 children, divided into clearly defined age groups: baby groups for 0-1.5 years, toddler groups for 1-3 years and pre-schoolers for 2-4 years. This way every child receives the attention and stimuli that match his or her stage of development.
We work with fixed group leaders and one permanent substitute; an unfamiliar face is never suddenly placed in the group. This gives both child and parent peace of mind. Flexibility is one of our core values: you can bring your child from 05:00 to 18:00, for either half or full days. Parents who only know their work schedule at short notice can usually still find a place – “Call today, care tomorrow” is not an empty promise with us.
At lunchtime everyone sits down together for a fresh, hot meal, ensuring the children get enough energy even on long days. Feel free to come and experience the atmosphere without obligation; just call ahead and we will gladly give you a tour of our rooms and our secure outdoor space.
Our team looks forward to working with you to give the very youngest a safe second home where fun, development and trust are central.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
If the group composition allows, your child may come for 1 or 2 settling-in visits before the official placement begins. This can be a morning or an afternoon, in consultation with the parents. It is important for children to say a clear goodbye to their parent. Often each child has their own ritual for this.

Summary
The annual inspection of childcare center Pinokkio in Schiedam shows that the location now meets all assessed quality requirements. During the previous inspection in February 2025, two violations were identified: the pedagogical policy plan lacked a concrete description of the 3-hour rule for deviation from the staff-child ratio, and the Certificate of Conduct (VOG) of a new board member had not been issued for all relevant function aspects. Both violations have since been resolved. The pedagogical practice is good: staff provide emotional security, stimulate children's development and guide social interactions. Everything is also in order regarding personnel, safety, health and parent communication.
