Summary

This inspection report concerns an application for registration of childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) with B.J. Scheepers-Zuurveld in Scherpenzeel, affiliated with childminder agency (gastouderbureau) GASTOU B.V. The inspection took place on 20 May 2026 and included document review, a site visit, and an interview with the childminder/host parent. The childminder/host parent wishes to provide care on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for a maximum of six children in her own home. The pedagogical practice could not yet be assessed as the childminder/host parent had not yet started, but the interview showed that she is sufficiently familiar with the pedagogical policy plan and values calm, cleanliness, regularity, and outdoor play. All assessed quality requirements have been met, including registration, cooperation, expertise, accommodation, safety, and health. The childminder/host parent holds a valid first aid certificate (EHBO) until 2028 and an appropriate diploma. No areas for improvement or violations were identified. The childminder/host parent waived the right to a hearing and response procedure and did not submit any comments.
