Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected Hummelstuif childcare in Oirschot for registration in the National Childcare Register (LRK). The location opens on 20 October 2025 with a toddler group for up to 16 children (ages 2–4) at the Odulpushoeve. The inspection demonstrated that the operation can reasonably meet the quality requirements. All examined topics (general terms and conditions, pedagogical climate, staff, safety and health, accommodation) comply with the standards. No violations were identified. However, several improvement points were noted: the holder's name in the LRK differs from the NHR, the pedagogical policy must more clearly describe how the mentor is introduced to the child, and the safety and health policy needs further elaboration for indoor spaces, toilets, food preparation, and outdoor areas. The holder has made these adjustments. The GGD advises the municipality to include the location in the register.
