Summary
GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond conducted a registration inspection on 2 December 2025 at childminder/host parent (gastouder) F.M. Arnold at Strausslaan 26 in Rotterdam. The childcare is brokered by DOT Gastouderbureau and comprises six childcare places at the residential address of the requesting parent. This is the second facility of this childminder/host parent. The childcare had not yet commenced at the time of inspection; the childminder/host parent was awaiting registration in the National Childcare Register. All assessed quality requirements were found to be in order: registration, pedagogical practice (based on interview), Certificate of Good Conduct/persons register, expertise including first aid certificate, Dutch as language of communication, play and sleeping space, group composition, backup caregiver, health and safety risk assessment, and domestic violence reporting code. The pedagogical practice could not be fully observed as no children were yet being cared for, but the interview indicated that the childminder/host parent has sufficient knowledge of the pedagogical policy. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam to register the facility.
