Summary

Hero Peuteropvang Erasmuslaan 3 in Haarlem provides preschool daycare for 16 toddlers aged 2-4 years. The annual unannounced inspection visit on 10 September 2025 concludes that the location scores well on virtually all quality requirements: pedagogical climate, staff & groups, safety & health, and parental rights are satisfactory. There is a clear pedagogical policy, qualified staff (all with 3F language proficiency), good parent communication and a continuous line with De Erasmus primary school through the Uk & Puk programme. The only violation concerns the outdoor play area: due to shared use with two primary schools and a sister location, the playground is not accessible at all times. The location has agreed fixed time slots with the schools (10:45-12:15) and offers 1.5 hours of outdoor play per half-day. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) regards this as a structural shortcoming, but advises the municipality not to take enforcement action due to practical circumstances and the action plan. No recovery offer has been made; the violation remains registered until structural space improvement becomes possible.
