Summary
GGD IJsselland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 5 October 2026 at childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Waal in Vollenhove, commissioned by the municipality of Steenwijkerland. The childminder provides care for children in her home and is affiliated with childminder agency (gastouderbureau) VanHarteLief. The care generally complies with statutory requirements.

The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: the childminder provides a safe, stimulating environment with sufficient interaction. The advice to the municipality is no enforcement action.
