Summary
The annual inspection on 28 May 2025 at childminder A.M. Abalo in Apeldoorn shows a well-functioning childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) service. The childminder provides care for a maximum of six children aged 0-12 years through the childminder agencies Krokodilletje B.V. and 4Kids. All examined areas meet statutory requirements. The pedagogical climate is positive: children feel emotionally secure, the childminder works with clear routines, and stimulates development through play, circle time, and creative activities. Two discussion points were identified: a baby nest in the playpen (safety risk) and the use of a fabric cover on the changing mat (hygiene risk). The childminder has committed to adjusting both points. No violations were identified and no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was required.
