Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) de Kleine Oever in Woerden, part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens, was inspected on 11 June 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Utrecht region. The location accommodates up to 24 children (ages 0-4) in two groups. Overall, the location performs well in meeting quality standards. The pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and premises were assessed positively. There were two violations for which a recovery offer was issued: a missing safety measure on the exterior doors (entrapment risk) and a missing link to the inspection report on the website. Both shortcomings have since been resolved. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
