Summary

GGD Twente conducted a registration inspection at Christoforus Kinderopvang (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Almelo on 22 June 2026. This concerns a relocation to a temporary location at Schapendijk 3, where a maximum of 8 children aged 2-4 years will be cared for. The location meets the statutory quality requirements. No violations were identified. However, various preparatory measures were identified that the operator must still implement before the start of operations on 17 August 2026, particularly regarding the furnishing and safety of the premises. The advice to the municipality is positive: inclusion in the National Childcare Register is recommended.
