Chubby Cheeks Kinderopvang

Strengths

• Policy for deploying interns, staff in training, and volunteers is now sufficiently described
• Extra days and absences of permanent staff are better arranged
• Sufficient qualified staff are deployed according to the new schedule
• First aid qualification is now arranged for all times
• Safety and health policy now contains sufficient measures for high-impact risks

Shortcomings

• References to separate internship policy in pedagogical policy have not yet been updated everywhere
• Annual planning of team meetings does not match the policy cycle in the safety and health policy

Violations

• Administration is incomplete: staff overview lacks obtained diplomas, certificates, and supporting documents
• Pedagogical policy is inadequate: staff deployment not described in concrete terms, insufficient confidence in implementation and policy management by the holder
• Safety and health policy is inadequate: insufficient confidence in implementation by the holder, policy cycle not in accordance with description
• Child abuse reporting protocol (meldcode) is inadequate: allocation of responsibilities in the steps is not correctly described

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected Chubby Cheeks Kinderopvang in Amsterdam on June 23, 2026. This was a follow-up investigation in the context of an enforcement procedure. The location provides care for a maximum of 10 children (ages 0-4) and is being taken over by a new holder. Despite improvement measures, the location still fails to meet multiple quality requirements. Pedagogical and safety policy management is vulnerable because the holder is heavily dependent on an external policy officer. The administration remains incomplete, the pedagogical policy lacks concrete staff deployment and implementation assurance, and the child abuse reporting protocol (meldcode) contains errors in the allocation of responsibilities. The GGD advises rejecting the application.
