Summary
GGD Fryslân conducted a registration inspection on 18 November 2025 at childminder H. Hengst at Eilewijksreed 4 in Oudehorne, on behalf of the municipality of Heerenveen. This concerned a 'Strict at the Gate' investigation for childminder care (gastouderopvang) via childminder agency Drakepit. The childminder meets all assessed inspection items. No children in care were present during the visit, meaning the pedagogical policy could not be observed in practice. The inspector did have concerns about the safety of open water in the garden; this was subsequently resolved through the installation of fencing, documented in an adjusted risk assessment.
