About this care
Welcome to Roetsj kinderopvang, located at the lively Heemraadssingel 169 in the heart of Rotterdam. Our modern, playful building offers over 300 m² of safe play space and has been officially registered as a daycare centre since 2020 (LRK 267516332). We are open 52 weeks a year from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, excluding official public holidays.
At Roetsj we work with three horizontal groups so every child feels at home among peers. Our baby group ‘de Vosjes’ is for children aged 0 to 2 years and welcomes up to 14 babies, cared for by three pedagogical staff members. The toddler group ‘de Welpjes’ is specially designed for children aged 2 to 4 years and accommodates 16 toddlers, guided by two pedagogical staff. We also have a vertical group ‘de Leeuwtjes’ with a maximum of 16 children aged 0 to 4 years, supported by 2 to 3 pedagogical staff members.
Our vision centres on freedom within safety. We encourage independence with a nod to nature. Daily outdoor adventures in nearby Vroesenpark and creative workshops in our bright studio space are part of our programme. We serve fresh, organic meals and provide warm, personal guidance. For the youngest ones we offer bottle feeding and quiet nap times in separate sleeping areas.
Roetsj kinderopvang is a small-scale organisation with attention for every unique child. Our dedicated team of staff is ready every day to give your child the best possible start. Our natural outdoor play area and stimulating learning programme turn every day into a colourful adventure.Read more

Summary
Roetsj kinderopvang on Heemraadssingel in Rotterdam provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 48 children aged 0-4 years. The inspection on 22 July 2025 found that the location meets most quality requirements, but identified two violations. The pedagogical practice, safety policy, and staffing levels are well in order. However, a staff member without a baby certificate was deployed in a baby group, and the team has insufficient awareness of the possibility to contact the confidential inspector in cases of suspected abuse. The organization took immediate measures: the employee now works only in toddler groups and the team will receive refresher training. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce.
Reviews
I did not see the inside of this daycare centre but definitely a 5-star+ just for the exterior alone. What a magnificent building and surrounding.
