Summary

The annual inspection of 12 February 2025 at childminder Cicilia-Johanna in Utrecht presents a positive picture. The childminder cares for a maximum of six children (ages 1-4 years) in her own home, mediated by two childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus). All assessed quality requirements under the Childcare Act are being met. The pedagogical practice is good: children feel safe, are playfully challenged in their development, and learn social skills and norms and values. The accommodation is safe and appropriately arranged with sufficient play and sleeping space, a smoke-free environment and adequate outdoor play facilities. The childminder holds the required diplomas (Helping Care & Welfare level 2, valid first aid certificate) and is registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang). There is an emergency backup arrangement via two neighbour women. The risk assessment is up to date and the childminder is familiar with the reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse.
