About this care
As a leading childcare organisation, we are committed to providing the best care and development opportunities for children aged 0 to 4 years at our daycare and 4 to 12 years at our after-school care (BSO). Our childcare is characterised by a warm and safe environment where your child can develop optimally.
We offer both horizontal and vertical group arrangements, where babies and toddlers are placed in separate groups or mixed together, depending on the specific needs and developmental stage of the child. Our facilities include an outdoor playground where children can play and explore to their heart's content. We place great value on healthy nutrition and therefore offer organic meals. It is possible to bring children for half days, providing flexibility for parents with different needs.
Our nutrition policy focuses on offering balanced and nutritious meals, including breakfast, lunch, hot meals and snacks. Nappies and formula are also included in the costs. We use an app to keep parents informed about their children's development and experiences. Our activity programmes are rich in music and dance, outdoor activities and excursions, arts and crafts, and sports and movement. The staff-to-child ratio complies with legal requirements, ensuring personal attention and care. Our staff speak both Dutch and English, contributing to an inclusive environment for all children.Read more

Summary
CompaNanny Schoterbos in Haarlem provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 37 children aged 0-4 years. The inspection of 10 March 2025 shows that the facility generally functions well: the pedagogical policy is clear, the pedagogical practice provides children with emotional security, and the parent committee is satisfied. However, several violations were identified: children were occasionally moved to another core group and sometimes a permanent, familiar staff member was absent. A staff member in training was also deployed without a qualified colleague. The organisation has taken appropriate measures or offered recovery for all violations, including an adjusted policy and complete guidance plans. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce, but to take mitigating circumstances into account.
