Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) annual investigation of 27 February and 20 March 2026 into daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) CompaNanny Lent in Nijmegen reveals serious shortcomings across multiple areas. The location does not meet statutory quality requirements. Violations were identified in the areas of administration, pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, and stability of care. Children are being cared for outside their own fixed group and at a different location without adequate consent. The pedagogical policy is insufficiently concrete and is not being followed in practice. Children's emotional safety is inadequately safeguarded due to the deployment of unfamiliar temporary staff. No recovery offer was made because the GGD considers restoration within four weeks unfeasible. The premises do meet the requirements. The GGD advises enforcement.
