Summary

Doomijn POV Toermalijn is a toddler care centre (peuteropvang) in Apeldoorn for 32 children (ages 2-4) with preschool education. The annual inspection of 25 November 2025 shows predominantly positive findings. The pedagogical quality is good: staff work in accordance with policy, the Early Childhood Education programme Startblokken is correctly implemented, and children are offered sufficient development-oriented activities.
