GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: August 24, 2026
Strengths
- Host parent actively pursues training and courses through the childminder agency
- Fixed daily routine with daily schedule cards for structure
- Step-by-step plan in place for addressing inappropriate behaviour
- Safe, appropriately designed indoor and outdoor spaces
- Up-to-date risk assessment and knowledge of reporting protocol
- Valid first aid certificate and coaching through the childminder agency
Shortcomings
- Settling-in policy in the pedagogical work plan could be described more concretely (number of hours, approach)
- Encouraging children's independence: let children come up with their own solutions rather than providing these immediately
- Keep pedagogical work plan directly available during inspection
- More consistent positive approach towards children, less emphasis on what is not allowed
Violations

Summary
Host parent Koeiman in Amsterdam was inspected by GGD Amsterdam on 24 August 2026. The inspection concerned an annual review of this childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) for a maximum of 3 children (aged 3, 4 and 8), placed through 4Kids. The host parent will cease operations as of 1 January 2027. Although all quality requirements are met, points for attention were identified in pedagogical practice. The host parent demonstrates commitment to quality by pursuing training, maintaining a fixed daily routine, and using a step-by-step plan for inappropriate behaviour. During observation, however, it appeared that she sometimes decides too much for the children and stimulates their independence less. She also spent 20 minutes searching for the pedagogical work plan, leaving the children unsupervised and unsettled. Her tone towards children is not always positive; she mainly points out what is not allowed. The spaces are safe and appropriately designed, the risk assessment is up to date, and the reporting protocol is known. A recovery offer was issued in a previous inspection (19 March 2025) due to irresponsible care; this violation has been closed. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipal executive to take note of this report.
