About this care
Welcome to IKC De Lente, our small-scale and welcoming childcare centre in the rural village of Abbenes. Our daycare location at Langerak 42 provides care for children aged 0 to 4 in one vertical group. This allows brothers and sisters to play and grow together, creating a familiar and homely atmosphere.
Babino's professional staff work from one vision, one team and one plan in close partnership with the school. We follow every child from day one along a continuous developmental line. Inside you will find different play corners: a quiet play-pen for the youngest babies, creative materials for toddlers and plenty of space for free play or joining in activities such as crafts, singing and making music.
Outdoors the children can enjoy the large playground and schoolyard. We value movement and fresh air, so there are ample opportunities to romp outside. Throughout the day we provide healthy nutrition: fresh fruit in the morning, a warm lunch adapted to your child's age and vegetables and drinks in between.
We are open Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. We believe it is important that children feel safe, gain self-confidence and can develop optimally. That is why every child is given the space to grow and learn in his or her own way and at his or her own pace.Read more

Strengths
- The outdoor space has been fully adapted and is safe for children

- Staff members work according to the nutrition policy and have access to a food thermometer
- The provider has obtained a quote for a new washbasin and has a schedule for installation

Shortcomings
- Installation of a washbasin to separate hand hygiene for nappy changing and food preparation (planned for week 5 of 2026)
- Ensuring soap is available in the toilet shared with the school
- Implementation of the revised policy for storing frozen food in the new freezer space

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 4 November 2025 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) IKC de Lente in Abbenes. The location provides care for 16 children aged 0-4 years and is part of Babino B.V. The inspection assessed the safety and health policy. Previous violations from the report of 31 March 2025 have been lifted. The provider has made important improvements: the outdoor space has been made safe, children are no longer left alone in the group, and staff members work according to the nutrition policy. A new washbasin will be installed in week 5 of 2026 to separate hygiene for nappy changing and food preparation. Points of attention remain the lack of soap in the toilet shared with the school, insufficient freezer space for frozen food, and the absence of a parent committee, for which the provider is currently using alternative parent consultation.
