Summary

The annual inspection by GGD West-Brabant at Hoppas Waardhuizen (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf, part of EAFKA B.V.) presents a predominantly positive picture. The location provides care for a maximum of 17 children (0-4 years) across two groups, based in primary school De Verrekijker. All assessed quality requirements were met regarding staff, safety, accommodation and parental rights. However, one violation was identified: the pedagogical policy plan lacked a concrete description of the working methods of the 3+ group on Wednesday mornings, when toddlers participate in activities in the kindergarten class. The holder remedied this within the set deadline. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff create a warm, stimulating environment with attention to individual development and smooth transition to primary education. No complaints were filed in 2024.
