About this care
Vriendjeskring Bredestraat (Small Kidz) is our daycare center in the heart of Rotterdam. Our location on Bredestraat provides care for children from 8 weeks to 4 years in a safe, warm and homely environment. We work with five groups: two horizontal baby groups (8 weeks - 2 years), two horizontal toddler groups (2 - 4 years) and one vertical group (1 - 4 years).
At Vriendjeskring, we believe it's important that every child feels safe, seen and loved. We work with the VVE program Uk & Puk, where the hand puppet Puk helps children discover new themes, stimulates language development and strengthens social skills in a playful way. Our pedagogical staff work with fixed faces and provide personal attention in small-scale groups.
We offer a varied warm meal daily and work with a fixed daily schedule that provides structure and support. Our challengingly designed spaces with clear play corners invite children to play freely and explore. We are open daily from 07:00 to 19:00 and warmly invite you for a no-obligation tour.Read more

Pedagogy methods
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: July 22, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice is good: pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and sensitive guidance of children
- Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol (melcode) is well organized
- Parent committee and information provision to parents are in order
- Stability of care and fixed groups meets the requirements
- Certificate of conduct (VOG) and persons register are in order
Shortcomings
- More careful checking of the outdoor space for litter and defects before outdoor play
- Improve staff scheduling to ensure someone with pediatric first aid (kinder-EHBO) is always present
- Promptly demonstrate correct staff qualifications to prevent ratio issues
Violations
- Pedagogical policy: missing concrete description of frameworks for deviating from staff-child ratios (resolved after recovery offer)
- Deployment of pedagogical policy staff: no written distribution of hours across locations (resolved after recovery offer)
- Safety and health policy: no concrete description of how policy is made transparent to stakeholders (resolved after recovery offer)
- Qualification requirements: unclear whether one staff member holds the correct qualification (mbo certificate insufficient)
- Staff-child ratio: not met on 14 and 16 July 2026 due to uncertainty about staff member's qualification
- Safety of outdoor space: litter, nails protruding from planks, broken railing, rotted tree trunk; measures from action plan not implemented
- First aid: no qualified adult for pediatric first aid (kinder-EHBO) present on 14 July 2026, 18:00-18:15
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected kindercentrum Vriendjeskring Bredestraat B.V. in Rotterdam on 22 July 2026. The center provides daycare (dagopvang) for 98 children (0-4 years). The pedagogical practice, domestic violence reporting protocol, parental rights, and stability of care meet legal requirements. Three areas received a recovery offer and have since been resolved: pedagogical policy (concrete frameworks for deviating from ratios), deployment of pedagogical policy staff (hour calculations), and partially safety and health policy (transparency). Unresolved violations: uncertainty about one staff member's qualification, resulting in incorrect staff-child ratios on 14 and 16 July 2026; unsafe outdoor space with litter, nails, and wood splinters; and absence of a qualified first aider on 14 July 2026 between 18:00-18:15. The provider acknowledges the shortcomings and has taken measures.
