Summary
The annual inspection of 13 July 2026 of childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Baks in Woudrichem presents a predominantly positive picture. The childminder meets all legal requirements in the inspected areas: pedagogical climate, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)/expertise, spaces, and safety/health. The pedagogical practice is strong: there is a trusted relationship with the child, emotional safety, and good developmental stimulation. However, the pedagogical work plan was missing several mandatory components effective from 1 July 2026 (daily routine, layout, settling-in procedure, development monitoring). The childminder has committed to updating this with support from the childminder agency. No violations were identified and no recovery offer was made. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
