Violations

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected De Springplank (KZG group), a childcare group for a maximum of 8 children aged 2 to 4 years in Amsterdam. The inspection took place prior to opening on 18 August 2026 and consisted of document review, a site visit and interviews. The location offers small-scale care with extra attention for individual guidance by a childcare professional and an orthopedagogue. Two initial shortcomings in the pedagogical policy and the safety and health policy were resolved following a recovery offer from the inspector. The floor plan does not fully comply with NEN standard 2580; this will be addressed in the next inspection. The GGD gives a positive recommendation for operation.
