Summary

On 30 September 2026, GGD Drenthe conducted an inspection at Mini Zoo in Emmen, a new after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 18 children aged 4 to 12 years. This was a registration inspection for the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). The location has not yet commenced operations. The inspection demonstrates that the holder meets all assessed quality requirements regarding general conditions, pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. The administration is complete, the pedagogical policy plan and safety policy are in place, and the accommodation with indoor and outdoor space meets the requirements. Some aspects, such as pedagogical practice and operation of the complaints procedure, can only be assessed after opening at the annual inspection.
