Summary

Het Vlindertje is a new daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Alblasserdam offering full-day care for 25 children across two groups (ages 0–4). The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the location on 1 May 2026 for registration in the National Childcare Register. The conclusion is positive: the location meets all assessed conditions. The pedagogical policy is comprehensive and concrete, staff are qualified including infant care training for children under 1, and a pedagogical coach is available. The indoor space (92.6 m²) and outdoor space (over 100 m²) comfortably exceed the requirements. The furnishing of the spaces is still to be completed; this will be checked at the annual inspection. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The GGD advises the municipality to include the location in the register.
