Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) de Oogappel in Buren (32 places, ages 0–4) received its annual unannounced Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection on 21 July 2025. Following a recovery offer, all inspected legal requirements have been met. The pedagogical policy is well implemented: the team knows the plan, consciously works on children's independence, and consistently applies the healthy nutrition policy. Safety is in order: electrical outlets secured, cleaning supplies stored away, outdoor area fenced, baby-toddler section covered, children's first aid kit available. Parents are fully informed through the website, app, and conversations; there is no parent committee yet, but the provider demonstrates sufficient effort to recruit one. The complaints procedure and registration with the Disputes Committee are in order; no complaints were received for this location in 2024.
