Shortcomings

• Outdoor play area layout could be more appropriate and challenging for youngest children (delineated play zone, more variety)
• Group room and play materials for older after-school care (BSO) children could be more challenging (sports and game materials, construction materials)
• Recruitment for parent committee could be more diverse than newsletter alone

Violations

• An employee performed work on June 25, 2026 while she was only linked to the provider in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK) on August 28, 2026; the employee was already registered in the PRK due to previous work at another childcare organization, but the link to the new provider was missing

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of Christelijke Kinderopvang Boaz in Dokkum concerned an unannounced inspection following registration on August 25, 2026. The location provides care in a combined group for a maximum of 16 children (ages 0-13), offering both daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and after-school care (buitenschoolse opvang/BSO), housed in primary school De Schakel. Most areas met statutory requirements, including pedagogical climate, staff qualifications, safety policy, and accommodation. One violation was identified: an employee performed work before being linked to the provider in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK). The provider received a recovery offer and subsequently completed the linkage. The GGD advises the municipality of Noardeast-Fryslân to take enforcement action in accordance with the enforcement policy.
