Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 19 June 2025 at childminder (gastouder) Ruijsestein-Hoesman in Ter Apelkanaal. The childminder provides care for 5 children aged 0 to 7 years in a separate space in her detached home. She is affiliated with two childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus) (Via Viela and De Hondsrug). All examined domains comply with the Childcare Act: general conditions, pedagogical climate, requirements for the childminder, accommodation, and safety and health. However, one point of attention was identified: the television is on during the day as background noise, which invites children to watch and hinders independent play. This will be followed up at the next inspection. No violations were identified in this inspection. The GGD advises the municipality of Westerwolde not to take enforcement measures.
