GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: January 15, 2026
Strengths
- Warm pedagogical climate with attention to emotional safety and individual needs of children
- Childminder is well informed about the pedagogical policy plan and implements it consistently
- Appropriate professional qualification and valid first aid certificate present
- Accommodation is safe, smoke-free and appropriately furnished with separate play and sleeping areas
- Adequate backup supervision arrangement present when caring for more than three children
- Correct group composition and registration with three childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus)
Shortcomings
- The revised procedure for going outside with children (via back garden instead of front door) still needs to be included in the risk assessments of the mediating childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 15 January 2026 at childminder (gastouder) Griffioen in Heemstede. The childminder provides care for a maximum of 6 children through three childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus). In all examined domains – general conditions, pedagogical climate, requirements for the childminder, accommodation and safety – the legal requirements were met. The childminder demonstrates a warm pedagogical climate, works according to a pedagogical work plan and offers children emotional safety. A remark from an earlier report about going outside with children has since been incorporated into the working method, but is still missing from the risk assessments of the agencies. No violations were identified and no recovery offer was made.
