Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Florencia in Schiedam for registration. The location largely meets statutory requirements. The pedagogical work plan was initially incomplete (missing routine description), but was supplemented and approved immediately following the inspection. The living room was sparsely furnished without a table and stools; this was rectified after the visit with photographs as evidence. The GGD advises registration of four rather than six childcare places due to limited space and layout. All other requirements (Certificate of Good Conduct/VOG, training, risk assessment, reporting code, smoke-free policy) are in order. The childminder is competent and aware of all regulations. No recovery offer applies; the observations are advisory in nature.
