Summary

D.A.B. Severs is a childminder/host parent (gastouderopvang) in Veldhoven, registered since January 2025 and affiliated with two host parent agencies. At the annual inspection on 13 March 2025, the childcare met all statutory quality requirements. The childminder/host parent demonstrates strong pedagogical skills: she provides children with individual attention, actively guides social interactions, and resolves conflicts in a supportive manner. Several areas for improvement were identified: the hallway and kitchen are cluttered with numerous shoes and bags, windows are covered with garbage bags due to missing curtains, and there is no suitable children's table meaning children eat on the floor. This does not pose an immediate safety risk and is not a violation, but does need to be improved for a more professional childcare environment. No recovery offer was made. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
