Summary

GGD Fryslân conducted a registration inspection on 2 April 2026 at 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 location is not yet operational; the start is planned for 1 May 2026. The inspection was carried out according to the 'Strict at the Gate' method, meaning intensive verification of whether the location immediately meets all quality requirements. The overall conclusion is positive: the location will broadly meet the statutory requirements. No violations were identified. However, several improvement points were noted, including updating the pedagogical policy plan (removing inapplicable information about horizontal groups and ratio deviations), expanding the settling-in policy, supplementing the safety and health policy with procedures for risks, and replacing the metal radiator cover with a non-heat-conducting material. The holder has committed to addressing these points before the start of operations.
