About this care
Our childcare location on Frederik Hendrikstraat in Amsterdam-West offers daycare for children aged 0 to 4 years. We provide care in a homely atmosphere where every child is given the space to develop at their own pace. The groups are intentionally kept small, so our childcare professionals can give each child the personal attention they deserve.
At SamSam, we believe it is important that children feel safe and secure. Our location is designed as a warm environment where children can play, discover and grow. We work with familiar faces and a consistent daily routine, so children know what to expect and quickly feel at home.
The childcare is aimed at stimulating children in their development through play. We offer various activities that match the age and developmental stage of the child. Think of crafts, reading aloud, singing and outdoor play. There is also plenty of room for free play, where children can choose what they want to play with. This contributes to their independence and creativity.
Our garden is an extension of the group space and offers children the opportunity to play outside. There is a sandbox, a slide and plenty of space to run and romp. We believe it is important that children get plenty of fresh air and learn to discover nature.
We work closely with parents and believe open communication is very important. There is daily room for a brief consultation when dropping off and picking up the children. We also use a parent app through which we can share photos and messages, so parents stay informed about their child's development.
SamSam Frederik Hendrik is a place where children feel at home and where parents can leave their child with peace of mind.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: June 24, 2026
Strengths
- The team is aware of the staff-to-child ratio and acts correctly in accordance with it
- Procedures are documented in writing and implemented, including control mechanisms
- The entire team holds a valid first aid certificate
- The organization has taken structural measures such as adjusted schedules and a bot for PRK linkages
Shortcomings
- Staff break times do not comply with the Working Hours Act (45-minute break for a 10.5-hour workday)
Summary
SamSam Frederik Hendrik B.V. is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam-West for a maximum of 14 children aged 0 to 3 years. This follow-up inspection was conducted after an annual inspection on 18 February 2026 in which violations were identified. The location has since resolved all previous violations: employees are correctly registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK), an additional adult is always present when deviating from the staff-to-child ratio, and there is continuously someone with a first aid diploma on site. The team is aware of the rules and procedures are documented in writing. However, an issue regarding break times was identified that is in violation of the Working Hours Act, though this does not constitute a violation of the Childcare Act.
Reviews

Medewerkers zijn goed alleen de manager (Marloes) is super onproffesioneel enorm slecht alles draait om geld bij haar!
