Stichting Funtazia International Child Care

Strengths

• Safety and health policy is now being implemented correctly
• Staff members are able to explain clearly how safe and healthy practices are maintained
• Mandatory reporting, consultation and disclosure obligations are now in order; staff members know the confidential inspector
• Mentorship and parent meetings are now described sufficiently concretely in the policy

Shortcomings

• Include a concrete description of boundary conditions for activities outside the core group
• Make Dutch-speaking staff members visible with an orange bow
• Make toilets accessible to children for potty training
• Organize quiet activities for children who do not take an afternoon nap
• Staff schedules must clearly show break times, absences and formative deployment
• Supervision of staff members in training must be structurally guaranteed

Violations

• Pedagogical policy is not always applied in practice: insufficient Dutch-speaking staff members, no orange bows, language requirements for coaches not demonstrated, toilets not accessible, no quiet activities for non-napping children
• Pedagogical policy plan contains insufficient concrete description of activities outside the core group
• Insufficient staff members deployed relative to the number of children; staff schedules do not sufficiently demonstrate this
• Staff member in training is deployed for more than 50% in a formative capacity without the correct employment contract
• Supervision of staff members in training is insufficiently guaranteed due to absence of pedagogical coach
• Multilingual childcare does not meet the 50% Dutch rule: multiple groups have insufficient or no Dutch-speaking staff members
• Code of conduct and policy do not sufficiently demonstrate that children are exposed to Dutch for at least 50% of the time

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 5 February 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation into Stichting Funtazia International Child Care in Rotterdam, a bilingual daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 95 children (0-4 years). The location still does not meet all quality requirements. The pedagogical policy and the number of staff members are again inadequate, while safety and health policy and mandatory reporting requirements now do comply. Repeated violations have been identified despite previous recovery directives.
