Summary

This inspection report concerns an investigation for registration of childminder Geven-Khashan in Stadskanaal, carried out by GGD Groningen on behalf of the municipality of Stadskanaal. The care takes place in a detached, recently renovated home with a deep garden. The childminder is new and had no children in care at the time of inspection. All assessed chapters (general conditions, pedagogical climate, requirements for the childminder, accommodation, and safety and health) met the legal requirements. One recovery offer was made because no smoke detector was present in the hallway at the rear of the house. The childminder remedied this on the same day, demonstrated with a photograph. The inspection concludes with a positive recommendation for inclusion in the national childcare register.
