Summary

This inspection report concerns an annual inspection conducted on 19 August 2025 at childminder Ruiter Wijnants in Julianadorp, registered with childminder agency ViaViela Bibische van Zweeden. The childminder provides care for a maximum of 3 children aged 0-3 years. Initially, there was one shortcoming: a missing smoke detector in the living room, which forms part of the escape route. The risk assessment was also not up to date (referencing an absent sandpit, travel cot, and rabbits). Following a recovery offer, the childminder installed a smoke detector within two weeks and had the risk assessment revised by the childminder agency. All requirements were subsequently met. Other aspects including registration, pedagogical climate, staff competence, accommodation, and reporting code were in order. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
