Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 28 April 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) CompaNanny de Wadden in Haarlem. The location provides care for 16 children aged 0-4 years and is housed within primary school de Waddenschool. All assessed quality requirements have been met, including pedagogical policy and practice, staff qualifications, persons register registration and accommodation. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff members work in a warm and supportive manner, children appear at ease and there is considerable attention for the new pedagogical vision with six elements. The indoor and outdoor spaces meet the requirements, although the group room appears limited due to the vertical group composition. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The holder did not submit a response. The advice to the municipality is not to take enforcement action.
