- Group composition meets statutory requirements
- Adequate backup care arranged when more than three children are present

Summary
Host parent Kottelaar-van den Bulk in Berkel en Rodenrijs was inspected on 26 September 2024 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond. This was an unannounced annual inspection of this childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) with 6 childcare places for children aged 4 to 12 years, affiliated with Mare gastouderbureau. The inspection presents a predominantly positive picture. The pedagogical practice is in order: the host parent provides appropriate challenge, encourages independence, and maintains clear rules. The competence, group composition, accommodation, backup care, and domestic violence reporting protocol also comply. There is one point for improvement: the risk assessment incorrectly states that there are no pets, whereas the family has recently acquired guinea pigs. The assessment must be updated in the short term. No violations were identified and no recovery offer was issued. The advice to the municipality of Lansingerland is: no enforcement action.
