Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 2 March 2026 for Hero Kinderdagverblijf Velserstraat 57 in Haarlem presents a predominantly positive picture. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 36 children (0-4 years) meets most quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. The pedagogical practice was assessed as sound, with sensitive and responsive interactions. The domestic violence and child abuse reporting code is well implemented. One point of attention was the missing parent committee at the start of the inspection, despite efforts by the provider. During the inspection period, a parent committee of three members was established. Earlier violations from 2024 (pedagogical policy and reporting code) were resolved through a recovery offer. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement.
