GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: November 18, 2025
Strengths
- Attentive to emotional safety; comforts children adequately
- Encourages language development and cooperative play
- Works structurally with daily schedule cards and timer following coaching
- Shows commitment and eagerness to learn; seeks self-improvement
- Written agreements with external agency regarding care needs
Shortcomings
- Outdoor play remains a structural point of attention; the childminder is dependent on a volunteer and only goes outside when this person is present
- More attention needed for group dynamics and age differences
- Oldest child (7 years) is given too little room for independence and own choices; is corrected and directed too much
Violations
- In March 2025, responsible childminder/host parent care was not provided due to directive and corrective pedagogical actions, insufficient alignment with children's needs, and insufficient opportunity for children to expend energy (resolved following recovery offer)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of Koeiman in Amsterdam on 18 November 2025. This incidental investigation followed earlier concerns about the pedagogical climate. In March 2025, a violation was identified: the childminder was not providing responsible care due to directive, corrective behavior and insufficient alignment with children's needs. Following a recovery offer with weekly coaching, the situation improved. In the current investigation, the childminder provides responsible care, with attention to emotional safety and language development. There remain areas for improvement: outdoor play continues to be a point of attention due to dependence on a volunteer, and the oldest child is given too little room for independence. The GGD advises recording the findings without enforcement action.
