Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Youth Health Service conducted a registration inspection on 4 August 2026 at childminder Bernouw Meerkerk in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. The childminder provides care for a maximum of 6 children in her own home through childminder agency Boelie. The conclusion is that the provision is expected to reasonably comply with the quality requirements. There were two minor safety risks: a mattress that was not properly secured in the camping bed and plastic bags/medicines that were accessible to children. Both were immediately resolved during the inspection visit. The childminder has a pedagogical policy document, valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), diploma, first aid certificate, and meets the training requirements. The garden is still being renovated and will only be used after a risk assessment has been carried out.
