Summary

The childminder provides care for a maximum of six children and works with childminder agencies (gastouderbureaus) ViaViela and We Care. The pedagogical climate is good: the childminder knows the policy, provides emotional safety, stimulates development, and takes daily routines into account. Accommodation, group composition, and backup care also meet requirements. However, there is a recurring violation regarding safety and health: the kitchen gate was not in the correct position, allowing children access to the kitchen with sharp objects.
