• Four-eyes principle in policy is insufficiently concrete; supervisory persons must explicitly know their role

Summary

This inspection report concerns Christelijke Kinderopvang Boaz in Dokkum, a new childcare location with 8 daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and 8 after-school care (BSO) places for children aged 0-13 years. The inspection was conducted as a 'Strict at the Gate' investigation for registration. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that the location will reasonably meet the quality requirements and advises registration. Various improvement points were identified, including incorrect information in the pedagogical policy, a summary settling-in policy, an incomplete risk assessment, and a metal radiator cover that must be replaced. The holder has committed to addressing these points before the start date of 1 May 2026. No violations were found that would prevent registration.
