Summary
On 4 June 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced incidental investigation at childminder Beekman in Emmer-Compascuum. The investigation followed a report from a parent regarding incidents between children. The inspection assessed the pedagogical climate and safety and health. Both areas meet the legal requirements. The childminder responded appropriately to two incidents (biting and pushing) by addressing the children, informing the parents immediately, and notifying the childminder agency. However, it emerged that the incidents had not been recorded in the accident log; the childminder was unaware of this requirement and will do so going forward. No violations were identified and no enforcement recommendation was given.
