GOB Kidz Academie

Strengths

• The operator is well-informed about new legislative changes effective 1 July 2026
• The pedagogical policy plan was quickly and adequately adapted to new guidelines
• Clear vision on reducing inequality of opportunity through investment in childminders (gastouders)
• The operator has obtained relevant certificates through 'Leerlijn' and is a pedagogical coach
• The pedagogical work plan format for childminders is already prepared
• Complaints procedure and affiliation with a disputes committee have been arranged

Shortcomings

• Parent committee regulations must be established within 6 months of registration
• Risk assessment for safety and health must still be drawn up before childcare begins
• Administration and payment system must be assessed for completeness at the post-registration inspection
• Annual evaluation with parents still needs to be put into practice

Summary

Childminder agency (gastouderbureau) Kidz Academie in Arnhem has been inspected for registration. The operator, World in Company B.V., has submitted an application to the municipality of Arnhem to start childminder care (gastouderopvang) and possibly after-school care (BSO) in the future. The operator is a pedagogical coach and works as a substitute in childcare. Outdated documents were submitted with the application, but the operator was able to articulate her vision clearly and submitted an adapted pedagogical policy plan within one week that meets the new requirements effective 1 July 2026. All assessed components (registration, pedagogical policy, personnel, safety and health, parental rights, and quality) are rated as sufficient. Many conditions will only be definitively assessed at the post-registration inspection, which will take place within 3 months of the start of operations.
