Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) de Pluizebol in Heemstede, part of Casca kinderopvang, was subjected to an unannounced annual inspection by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland on 21 August 2026. The location provides early childhood education to 16 children aged 2 to 4 years. All assessed quality requirements are met, including pedagogical policy, staff qualifications, safety policy, and early childhood education. The safety and health policy is up to date and well implemented. No violations or areas for improvement were identified during this inspection. In 2023, there were two shortcomings (training plan and trainee VOG), but these were resolved at the time through a recovery offer. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
