Summary

Kindercentrum BonBon Boerderij in Barendrecht, part of Smallsteps B.V., was inspected on 16 February 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond. The annual inspection involved an unannounced visit during which documents were reviewed, groups were observed, and conversations were held with staff and the location manager. The location provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for ages 0-4 with 83 places across six groups, including subsidised early childhood education using the Startblokken method. All assessed quality requirements were found to be in order, including pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, early childhood education, staff and groups, and parental rights. The inspector identified no violations or areas for improvement. The advice to the municipality is 'no enforcement action'. In their response, the provider confirmed that they recognise the positive findings regarding emotional safety, personal competence, social competence, and the transmission of norms and values.
