Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 22 April 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Ukkepuk (BSO) in Mariahout, conducted by GGD Brabant-Zuidoost on behalf of the municipality of Laarbeek. The location has provided day care and after-school care (BSO) in two buildings since 2005. The investigation focused on issues that were not in order during the annual inspection on 14 October 2025. Serious shortcomings were identified in three areas: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. The location does not meet various quality requirements, including an insufficiently concrete pedagogical policy plan, problems with the qualified staff-to-child ratio, unclear group composition, and an outdated safety and health policy. No recovery offer was made; the violations have not yet been resolved. The GGD advises enforcement action.
