Violations

• Pedagogical policy plan is not being implemented; insufficient emotional safety, personal skills and daily routine

• Staff member in training deployed as a permanent familiar face without documenting this in the guidance plan
• Group assistant not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK) and linked to the operator before starting work
• Expired first aid certificate; an altered document was submitted to make the certificate appear valid
• Not always at least 1 adult with a valid first aid certificate present
• Safety and health policy is not being implemented; insufficient concrete heat measures

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Mama Uil of De Uil Kinderopvang on 25 June 2026. The location provides care for a maximum of 16 children (ages 0–4) in one vertical group. The report identifies serious and repeated violations in multiple areas. Pedagogical practice is inadequate: children are left awake in bed for extended periods without attention, babies sit excessively long in high chairs and bouncers, and personal skills are insufficiently stimulated. The staff-child ratio is not met multiple times per day, partly because a staff member in training is deployed alone with a group assistant. Most concerning is a falsified first aid certificate of an employee, meaning there was not always someone with valid first aid present; the GGD is filing a report for this. The pedagogical policy plan, safety and health policy, and reporting code are also insufficiently implemented. Staff are not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK) in a timely manner. The operator takes insufficient responsibility for ensuring improvements. The GGD advises enforcement.
