About this care
AI
Welcome to De Spetterfluiter, our day-care centre located at Ring 1 in the heart of Nagele. We provide a safe and cosy environment where children aged 0 to 4 feel completely at home. The centre has two horizontal groups: Spetterfluiter 1 for babies 0-2 years and Spetterfluiter 2 for toddlers 2-4 years. Each group welcomes up to 16 children and is guided by at least four regular pedagogical staff members, ensuring every child receives the personal attention they deserve.
At De Spetterfluiter we work according to the Gordon method. This means we approach children with respect, listen to their needs and give them space to make their own choices. We focus on positive attention and help children solve conflicts themselves in a respectful way. Our pedagogical staff truly know each child: every child has a fixed mentor who is the contact person for parents and who closely follows the child’s development.
The day starts calmly. We sing the ‘enjoy your meal/drink’ song together, after which the children enjoy their sandwiches with savoury and sweet toppings at the table. In between they receive milk, tea or water. Afterwards there is room for free play: building with blocks, crafting, reading aloud or romping around in our safe garden. When the weather allows, we go outside where children can run, build sandcastles and discover what nature has to offer. Inside, high playpens are ready for the little ones and challenging toys for the toddlers.
Around 12.00 we bring the tired children to bed. Each child has their own sleeping place with cuddly toy and pacifier. We keep track of exactly how long they sleep, so parents know how the day went. Nappy changes are also done with care: we use the products provided by parents and pay close attention to each child’s skin. Special dietary requirements or allergies are discussed in advance, so every child can stay with us safely and confidently.
Parents find an open door with us. We take time for a chat when dropping off and picking up, share the day’s highlights and keep parents informed via our parent portal. The parent council actively contributes to policy and we regularly organise joint parties. Together we create a warm place where children can play, grow and above all: be themselves.Read more

Violations
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Spetterfluiter does not meet all assessed requirements. The pedagogical practice is sound, but the policy is insufficiently concrete on several points and is not always adhered to in practice.
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice is sound: staff provide emotional security, stimulate development through play, and guide social interaction well.
- Staff are sufficiently qualified, have completed infant/toddler training, and meet the IKK language requirement.
- Safe sleeping protocol is followed; a first-aid-qualified adult is always present.
- Personnel register and VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) checks are in order.
Shortcomings
- The pedagogical policy plan must describe more concretely how children's development is stimulated (role of the pedagogical staff member).
- Moments when children leave their regular group must be described more clearly, including provisions for emotional security.
- Tasks and supervision of interns, staff in training, and group assistants must be included in the pedagogical policy plan.
- Deviation from the BKR (three-hour rule) must be described more concretely in the daily schedule.
- Accountability of PBM (pedagogical policy staff) hours must be sharper and clearer, with only pedagogically linked hours.
- Complaints procedure can be more specific; the holder must more explicitly direct parents to the complaints procedure in case of dissatisfaction.
- Annual complaints report must name locations more clearly and state a clear calendar year.
Violations
- Working in accordance with safety and health policy: following an accident on 30-03-2026, no accident registration form was completed and parents were not informed directly at handover, while the policy requires this.
- Pedagogical policy plan does not meet statutory requirements: insufficiently described stimulation of development, regular group-leaving activities, tasks of interns/staff in training, and BKR deviation.
- Hours deployed for pedagogical policy staff member: too few coaching hours carried out in 2025 (although the difference is small).
Summary
The annual unannounced inspection of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Spetterfluiter in Nagele, part of Stichting Jokidé, presents a mixed picture. The pedagogical practice is strong: staff provide emotional security, adequately stimulate children, and work together. However, three shortcomings were identified in the pedagogical policy plan (insufficiently described stimulation of development, regular group-leaving activities, and tasks of interns), the safety and health policy (not always followed in the event of an accident, where parents were not informed directly and no accident registration was made), and the hours deployed for the pedagogical policy staff member (too few coaching hours in 2025, the difference is small). The supervisory authority advises enforcement in accordance with policy, with the exception of the PBM hours point. No recovery offer was made; the report has been definitively established.
