Summary

This annual inspection of the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of Brug Kalberg in Deventer, conducted on 30 October 2025, presents a wholly positive picture. All examined domains comply with the Childcare Act. The care takes place in a terraced house in the Keizerslanden neighbourhood for two children aged 10, primarily on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The childminder (also the grandmother) creates a relaxed, emotionally safe atmosphere where children can be themselves. There are clear rules for shared play, eating and drinking. The childminder holds the required diplomas, first aid certificate and an active placement relationship with childminder agency ViaViela. A backup carer has also been arranged, although this is not legally required for fewer than four children. The risk assessment is up-to-date and signed. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
