Summary

GGD Gelderland-Zouth carried out a registration inspection on 9 July 2026 at childminder Christiane Gathmann at Helmkruidstraat 36 in Wijchen. The childminder, placed via Gastouderbureau Roodkapje, provides day care for a maximum of 2 children at the requesting parent's home address. The inspection consisted of document review, a site visit and interviews with the childminder and the bureau. The location meets all legal requirements for inclusion in the National Childcare Register. No violations were identified. However, a safety risk was discussed: during the inspection, the childminder was unable to find clean underwear for the child present. This has been included in the risk assessment and the measures have since been implemented. The childminder holds the correct qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), paediatric first aid certificate and an appropriate pedagogical policy. The care location is smoke-free and the spaces are safely arranged.
