About this care
Welcome to SKSG Regenboog, our daycare centre located in the Vensterschool at Eikenlaan 288-3 in the Selwerd district of Groningen. We provide care for children aged 0 to 4 in a homely, safe environment where every child is free to be themselves. Because we share the building with primary school De Pendinghe, the step to formal schooling later on feels natural and familiar.
Regenboog operates three horizontal core groups: Stars (0-2 yrs, max. 12 children), Clouds (1-4 yrs, max. 16 children) and Suns (2-4 yrs, max. 16 children). Each group has at least two regular pedagogical staff members who guide your child every day. For our youngest guests we guarantee no more than three familiar faces, so your baby always sees a trusted adult. We set aside time every morning and afternoon for a personal hand-over conversation, keeping you fully informed about your child’s experiences.
We start each day together with a free healthy breakfast. After that the children enjoy plenty of fresh air in our sheltered, fenced garden stocked with challenging outdoor toys. Indoors we use development-focused play corners and organise movement activities in the shared space. Toddlers aged 2½ and older receive 16 hours per week of pre-school education (VVE), often together with the youngest reception-class pupils of De Pendinghe, making the eventual transition smooth and stress-free.
Our strength lies in cultural diversity: children from dozens of countries play and learn together. We celebrate festivals from many cultures and actively invite parents to join in. Every child also has a dedicated mentor who tracks development and conducts parent meetings. A spare set of clothing is welcome; we always keep emergency clothes on site. Together we ensure your child feels safe, valued and inspired at SKSG Regenboog.Read more

Summary
The annual unannounced inspection by GGD Groningen on 24 September 2025 shows that daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) SKSG Regenboog (44 places, 3 core groups, located in the Vensterschool Selwerd) largely complies with statutory quality requirements. The pedagogical climate scores positively: the pedagogical policy is worked out, activities are tailored to children's development, language enrichment is visible, and the atmosphere is calm and engaged. Staff and groups (qualifications, Certificates of Good Conduct, stability) and parental rights (complaints procedure, disputes committee) are also in order. One violation was identified: on four days in September 2025, the early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) group Zonnen did not have 1 VE-qualified staff member present per 8 children (maximum 16 children, 1 qualified + 1 unqualified). The location itself was transparent about this, cited illness and staff shortage as causes, and closed the group for one half-day to ensure safety. The inspection regards this as mitigating circumstances. No recovery offer was made because the situation was already known and the location has taken measures. The municipal executive is advised to enforce, taking into account the aforementioned mitigating circumstances.
