Violations
Not all assessed conditions have been fully met. Two of three shortcomings have been resolved, but violations remain in the areas of early childhood education and parental rights. Recidivism has been identified in the implementation of early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VVE).

Strengths

  • The health and safety policy is up to date and tailored to the location
  • Risk descriptions for shallow pools (wadi's) and drowning hazards are now adequately included
  • The deployment of the pedagogical policy officer for early childhood education meets the statutory hour requirement (111 hours scheduled)

Shortcomings

  • The early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) space must be set up according to the Startblokken methodology
  • Daily schedule cards, pictograms, word cards, and theme corner are still missing
  • Inspection reports must be posted on the website correctly and in full

Violations

  • Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie): the space is not set up according to VVE standards, daily schedule cards, pictograms, and word cards are missing, and the Startblokken methodology is insufficiently visible in practice (recidivism)
  • Parental rights: inspection reports are not posted correctly on the website; the link to the investigation for registration 2025 leads to the wrong report

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 5 June 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Dans Kinderopvang - Twinkel location in Doetinchem presents a mixed picture. At the follow-up investigation, conducted after earlier violations and an order subject to a penalty for non-compliance, two of the three examined shortcomings have been resolved. The health and safety policy is now up to date and tailored to the location, including risk descriptions for the present shallow pools (wadi's). The deployment of the pedagogical policy officer for early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) also now meets the requirements. Unfortunately, two violations remain: early childhood education is still not being implemented according to the methodology (missing materials and setup), and the provider is not posting inspection reports correctly on the website. The GGD advises the municipal executive to take enforcement action.
