Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Krûpelhintsjes in Dokkum for registration at a new location. This concerns toddler care for a maximum of 14 children (ages 2–4) operated by Stichting Kinderopvang Friesland, located in a portable building on the premises of primary school CBS Eben Haezer. The inspection was conducted in the context of a relocation effective 26 May 2026. The GGD concludes that the facility will reasonably meet the quality requirements and advises registration. During the inspection, two issues requiring attention were identified: the separation between clean and dirty water taps, and the safety of the outdoor play area. Both were resolved by the operator before the report was finalized.
