Summary
The annual inspection on 12 September 2025 at childminder/host parent (gastouder) W. Haagsma van der Helm in Assen shows a predominantly positive picture. The childminder provides care for six school-age children on Fridays in a quiet residential neighbourhood with good play facilities. The pedagogical climate is experienced as a strong point: the childminder offers emotional safety, stimulates personal and social competence, and works according to the pedagogical policy plan. Accommodation, group composition, safety and health all meet the requirements. However, one violation was identified: the partner of the childminder's son is temporarily registered at the childcare address but does not yet have a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). The application was submitted on 27 August 2025, but processing is taking longer due to the person's foreign origin. The person has no contact with the children and is staying at the address until 10 October 2025.
