Summary

GGD Fryslân conducted an annual inspection on 24 March 2026 at Gastouderburo Yvonne Kingma in Oudemirdum, a small-scale childminder agency (gastouderbureau) with 11 registered childcare addresses in central Friesland. The agency mediates, guides, and matches parents with childminders. The inspection showed that the agency generally functions well, with a clear pedagogical policy, correct Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) registrations, and adequate reporting procedures. However, a violation was identified regarding the risk assessment for safety and health: the assessment was missing risks related to collisions, bumps, stings, cuts, and medical treatment. Following a recovery offer, the agency remedied this shortcoming within the deadline. The holder agreed with the findings and did not submit a statement of objection.
