Summary

Pit Groeihuis B.V. in Susteren is a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0–13, with 16 places in a mixed-age group. The annual inspection of 7 April 2026 presents a mixed picture. The location complies in many areas: pedagogical practice, staff-child ratio, qualification requirements, accommodation, and stability of care are all in order. The early childhood education programme is also being implemented well using Puk and Ko. However, four violations were identified: two missing elements in the pedagogical policy plan regarding early childhood education (suitable space/materials and ensuring 960 hours of VVE), two individuals not registered in the childcare personnel register in a timely manner (a trainee and a staff member), and the failure to publish the most recent inspection report on the website. The holder remedied the shortcomings immediately after the inspection. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement in accordance with the enforcement policy.
