About this care
STH IKC |De Watersnip is located on the same premises as primary school De Watersnip at César Franckrode 70 in Zoetermeer. We provide pre-school education (VVE) for children aged 2 to 4 in a single toddler group. Most children continue to the primary school afterwards, ensuring a warm and familiar transition. At present, collaboration between the toddler group and the school focuses on aligning themes and securing a continuous learning pathway. We operate a horizontal grouping system, with children placed in an age-homogeneous toddler group. The Education Inspectorate recently rated the quality of our pre-school education as ‘Sufficient’; all standards were rated sufficient, with one exception.Read more

Summary
STH IKC De Watersnip in Zoetermeer provides daycare for up to 16 children aged 2–4 years and implements the Piramide early childhood education programme. The inspection identified one violation: the pedagogical policy plan lacked concrete information on group composition, age structure, and staff-child ratio. The location was issued a recovery offer and submitted a completed plan that now meets requirements within the deadline. The pedagogical practice provides a safe, stimulating environment; children feel at ease and receive active guidance in play and development. All staff are properly registered, qualified, and meet the language requirement.

There are no grounds for enforcement action.
