Summary
This annual inspection concerns the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of Engen van Noppen in Scheulder, registered for 6 childcare places for children aged 0 to 12 years. The care takes place in the childminder's home, affiliated with childminder agency ViaViela Maastricht. The inspection was conducted unannounced. Overall, the childminder meets the quality requirements well. The pedagogical climate is assessed positively: the childminder provides emotional security, stimulates independence, and acts with sensitivity. There is also full compliance regarding registration, expertise, group composition, and reporting protocol. However, two violations were identified in the area of accommodation and safety: the outdoor space was unsafely arranged with a fire pit, ladder, and loose paving stones, and there was no working smoke detector in the hallway. The childminder made use of the recovery offer (herstelaanbod) and both shortcomings have since been resolved. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
