Summary

Enjoy! Daycare at De Ruyschlaan 193A in Amstelveen provides care for up to 16 children aged 0-4 years in a single vertical group. The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 3 March 2025 concludes that the location meets all statutory quality requirements. The pedagogical climate is assessed positively: staff respond sensitively, tailor activities to children's interests (e.g., making 'planet pepernoten'—traditional Dutch spice cookies) and provide emotional security through predictable communication. All childcare professionals hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag), are properly registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang), and received coaching in 2024; the coaching plan for 2025 has been established. The safety and health policy is in order: children sleep in sleeping bags without blankets, temperature is monitored, and the policy regarding sudden infant death syndrome is followed. However, on the inspection day both CO2 meters in the bedrooms were defective; one has been removed for repair, the other will follow, and temporarily the meter from the group room is being used. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The GGD advises the municipality to note the report for information purposes without further enforcement action.
