Summary

This annual inspection of the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of W.E. Gerrits Snippe in Vroomshoop, conducted by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Twente, shows that the location meets all legal requirements. The host parent provides flexible before-school and after-school care for six children through childminder agency 4Kids. During the inspection, documents were reviewed, a site visit was conducted, and an interview was held with the host parent. No children were present during the visit, so no observation of pedagogical practice was possible. The host parent creates a safe and stimulating environment, is well-informed about the pedagogical policy, and holds all required diplomas and certificates, including a valid first aid certificate until March 2025.
