About this care
Welcome to Teddy Kids Rijnsburgerweg – the place where your child feels at home from the very first day. Our location at Rijnsburgerweg 35 is housed in a beautiful monumental building from 1905, full of character and warmth. This is where our journey began in 2004, and since then we’ve proudly provided high-quality, international childcare for children aged 0 to 4.
At Teddy Kids, we believe language opens doors to the world. That’s why we operate fully bilingually: every group has both a Dutch-speaking and an English-speaking childcare professional. Children grow up with two languages from the baby group onwards, developing a natural curiosity for other cultures. Our teams consist of over 75 professionals from 33+ nationalities, creating a rich, multicultural environment where every child can be themselves.
Our daycare accommodates up to 95 children, divided into horizontal age groups. Babies (0-2 years) have their own quiet spaces with cribs, bottle feeding, and all necessary care products. Toddlers and preschoolers (2-4 years) are in separate groups where development happens through play. We offer preschool education (VVE) using thematic work, music, arts, and language activities. We also regularly take trips to the park or city, because learning happens beyond our walls too.
Care is in our DNA: diapers, wipes, formula, and warm organic meals from Moekes are all included. We accommodate allergies and dietary needs. Children can safely play outside in our enclosed garden with play equipment. Inside, everything is child-friendly with soft colors, natural materials, and plenty of space to sleep, play, and discover.
Flexibility is our strength: you can swap days with one day’s notice, reuse missed days, and there’s no notice period. We understand parents’ lives can be unpredictable. That’s why we’re always ready to listen and offer practical support, such as helping arrange childcare allowance.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child into our Teddy Kids family. Feel free to drop by for a tour and a cup of tea – we’d love to tell you more about how we’ll explore the world of possibilities together with your child.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection by GGD Hollands Midden at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Teddy Kids Rijnsburgerweg in Leiden presents a mixed picture. The location provides bilingual care to 95 children (0-4 years) in eight core groups. Although the pedagogical practice, training requirements, and stability of care are satisfactory, multiple shortcomings have been identified in the areas of pedagogical policy, personnel and groups, and safety and health. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipal executive to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
