Summary

This inspection report concerns an application for registration of childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) by Joëlle Theodora van Erk at Zijdehoenderlaan 164 in Barneveld, mediated by Gastouderbureau ViaViela. The care takes place in the home of the requesting parent for 6 childcare places. The inspection took place on 15 April 2025. The childminder meets most legal requirements in areas such as registration, pedagogical climate, expertise, and accommodation. However, one violation was identified: the risk assessment for safety and health is inadequate because the health risks from proximity to a poultry farm are not adequately described. The location is 215 meters from a poultry farm in a livestock-dense area, which poses health risks. No recovery offer was made. The advice to the municipality is to include the location in the LRK, but with the restriction that only own children are to be cared for.
