Summary

CompaNanny Bachzaal in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 119 places across 9 groups, was inspected on 17 December 2025. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that all quality requirements are met. The pedagogical practice is responsible, with attention to emotional safety, language development and play. Staff act sensitively and respectfully. Staff qualifications and child-to-staff ratios are in order. A new location manager has brought greater calm to the location. The parent committee functions well. There were two minor points: incorrect opening hours on the website (since corrected) and a working method for group transitions that could lead to violations (policy has been reviewed following consultation with the GGD).
