Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report from February 2026 for toddler daycare Dolfijntje in Harderwijk presents a mixed picture. The location meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate and safety and health. However, two violations were identified in the areas of staff and groups and parental rights. The pedagogical quality is good: staff know the children personally, provide emotional security, and work in a structured manner with the recognized program 'Uk en Puk'. The location has a valid safety and health policy and sufficient qualified personnel. The violations concern failing to inform parents about fixed groups and regular caregivers, and not having a valid parent committee. The holder has submitted a response disputing that there is actual non-compliance.
