About this care
Verpleegkundig Kinderdagverblijf de Schavuiten in Leiden offers integrated care that combines regular daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with specialised support for children with additional care needs. Children play together in vertical groups and learn from one another under the guidance of childcare practitioners and paediatric nurses. The location has 5 group rooms spread across two buildings with three different outdoor play areas. The centre works with a challenging toddler programme, and in-house therapists such as physiotherapists or speech therapists are welcome to work with the children in the group. For children with urgent care needs, there is in principle no waiting list.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected De Schavuiten in Zwolle on 13 November 2025, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) combining medical and regular childcare. The location is still in the startup phase for regular care. Most quality requirements were found satisfactory, including pedagogical climate, staff and groups, accommodation, and general terms and conditions. Two violations were identified for which a recovery offer was issued: missing finger guards on exterior doors (safety) and failure to publish the most recent inspection report on the website (parental right to information). Both shortcomings were remedied within the set deadline. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
