Summary

Het Paleis 'PSZ de Mare' in Almelo was inspected by GGD Twente for registration as a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV). The location provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 0 to 4 years in one core group, Monday to Friday from 08:30-12:30. The inspection concerned an announced registration investigation during which documents were reviewed, the location was visited, and interviews were conducted. The provider meets all assessed conditions regarding administration, pedagogical policy, early childhood education, staff, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. Before the start of care, several practical adjustments still need to be completed: a water tap at the changing table, boxing in of the fire hose reel and radiators, and removal of an unevenness at a crawl hatch. Early childhood education is provided through the program 'Piramide Digitaal'.
