Summary

GGD Groningen conducted an announced incidental investigation on 19 February 2026 at Gastouderbureau VoorElkaar in Noordhorn. The investigation was prompted by a notification from DUO regarding an incorrect link in the childcare personnel register. This concerned a former childminder (gastouder) who had not had a working relationship with the agency since 2022. Due to a recent change in legal structure (sole proprietorship to general partnership/V.O.F.) and the resulting new Chamber of Commerce (KVK) number, the old link could not be technically terminated. The supervisor concluded that the agency meets the quality requirements and that no further action is needed; the link will automatically expire within four months. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
