De Grote Beer

Strengths

• Pedagogical policy is well implemented in practice
• Appropriate staffing levels and staff-to-child ratios
• Stable care environment with fixed mentors and clear communication to parents
• Sufficient and appropriately furnished indoor and outdoor spaces

Violations

• The safety and health policy was not fully complied with: at 30 degrees and sunny weather, the outdoor space was inaccessible because the parasol was broken and no shaded areas were available, meaning children could not go outside

Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Grote Beer in Hoorn was inspected on 26 May 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden. The location provides care for 16 children aged 0 to 4 years in one fixed group. Initially, not all requirements were met due to a violation of the safety and health policy. The staff were unable to let the children play outside because the parasol was broken and no shaded areas were available at 30 degrees. Following a recovery offer, the location purchased a temporary parasol within one week. After this, all assessed requirements were met. Other areas such as pedagogical policy, staffing, stability of care, and accommodation already complied at the time of inspection. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
