Summary

The annual inspection on 11 May 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Ichthus in Genemuiden, part of Stichting Accrete, shows a positive picture. The location offers 48 childcare places, including subsidized early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE), and is housed within basisschool Ichthus. All assessed domains meet legal requirements: general quality conditions and compliance, pedagogical climate, and staff and groups. The pedagogical practice is characterized by sensitive responsive behavior from childcare professionals, room for children's independence, and good structure with fixed routines. The location works with the VE program Kameleon100 and has continuity with the on-site primary school. Previous shortcomings from 2024 have since been resolved, as confirmed during a follow-up investigation on 11 May 2026.
