Strengths

• All staff correctly registered in the childcare personnel register
• Safety and health policy is well followed in practice
• Childcare professionals are well informed about the child abuse reporting code

Summary

ELMO-Kinderopvang (daycare center 'de Uilen') in Zevenaar was inspected on 8 April 2026. The small-scale daycare for a maximum of 16 children (0-4 years) meets legal requirements on most aspects. The pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health are in order. There are concrete child safety measures, such as safely stored cleaning products and a safe sleeping protocol. However, a violation was identified regarding parental rights: the internal complaints procedure does not meet legal requirements. A recovery offer was made, but the provider failed to resolve the violation within the timeframe due to a technical error in sending the amended procedure. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
