Buitengewoon van Kidsintown dagopvang

Violations

• Pedagogical policy: the policy plan lacks a concrete description of how parents are referred to appropriate agencies when there are special circumstances or developmental concerns regarding a child (recovery offer not acted upon, repeat violation)
• Staff and groups: when deploying a single staff member, no other adult is concretely available for support; daycare colleagues are not actually available due to their own duties
• Safety and health: the safety and health policy lacks a concrete description of the backup/emergency staffing arrangement for the after-school care (BSO); the described arrangement is insufficient as staff cannot be available within 15 minutes (recovery offer not acted upon)
• Accommodation: the indoor space is not safely, accessibly, and appropriately arranged; only 35.7 m² is available while a minimum of 70 m² is required for 20 children (1.77 m² per child instead of 3.5 m²); the space offers insufficient opportunities for rest, privacy, and age-appropriate activities (repeat violation)
