About this care
Snippers is a daycare center operated by KindeRdam located at Max Havelaarweg 50 in Hoogvliet Rotterdam. We provide care for up to 56 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our daycare is housed in a standalone building with two groups for babies and two groups for toddlers. We feature a large natural garden where children can explore, play and learn to their heart's content. A special section of our garden is dedicated to creating and maintaining a vegetable garden together with the children. The garden also offers ample opportunities for cycling, playing with sand and water, and experimenting with natural materials.
Inside, the group spaces are carefully designed with natural materials and connected so children can continue their discovery journey. We work with the VVE program Uk & Puk, specifically developed for young children. As a Het NatuurRijk location, we pay extra attention to nature, sustainability and each other. We believe children develop best through play and discovery in a rich learning environment.
Parent involvement is very important to us. We have an active parent committee that contributes to the development of our location, and we regularly organize parent evenings on interesting topics. Our pedagogical staff are specialized in the development of young children and create a warm and safe environment where every child can flourish.Read more

Strengths
- The pedagogical policy and pedagogical practice are well developed and implemented in accordance with the policy
- Staff hold the correct qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) declarations and language proficiency at level 3F
- Staff-to-child ratio is in order
- Parent committee has been established with three members (remedied after previous violation)
- Dutch language is correctly used as the language of instruction
Shortcomings
- Expand theme-based materials for early childhood education and better align them with the current theme
- Set up play areas more richly and challengingly with theme-related materials
- Increase visibility and presence of the pedagogical coach in the group rooms
- Ensure uniformity between the nutrition policy and daily practice
- Systematically secure staff knowledge of the obligation to report, consult and file charges
Violations
- Early childhood education: policy implementation not in accordance; insufficient theme-related play materials in play areas
- Deployment of early childhood education policy officer: not deployed for the full calculated number of hours; staff experience little coaching
- Safety and health policy: food provision in the Zonnestraal and Regenboog groups deviates from work instructions (chocolate spread, coconut bread, fatty meat products not permitted)
- Obligation to report, consult and file charges: staff not familiar with all components, including reporting to the provider when suspecting a colleague, contacting the confidential inspector and filing charges with the police when suspecting the provider
Summary
Kindercentrum Snippers in Hoogvliet Rotterdam, part of KindeRdam Kinderopvang B.V., offers daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 56 children aged 0-4 years and early childhood education following the Uk & Puk programme. The annual unannounced inspection of 25 August 2026 shows a mixed picture. Strong points are the pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, parent committee and staff-to-child ratio. However, four serious shortcomings were identified: early childhood education (missing theme materials and non-compliant implementation), insufficient deployment of the early childhood education policy officer, deviations in food provision compared to the safety and health policy, and insufficient staff knowledge of the obligation to report, consult and file charges in cases of suspected abuse. The provider indicated in their response that they would take measures, including team discussions, a knowledge session and extra attention to coaching and theme materials.
