Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 4 June 2026 concerned IKC De Wegwijzer, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for a maximum of 14 toddlers (ages 2–4) in Groningen. The location is temporarily moving to the Bessemoerstraat due to new construction. Across all examined themes – general conditions, pedagogical climate, staff, safety, accommodation, and parental rights – full compliance with the Childcare Act was established. No areas for improvement or violations were identified. The pedagogical policy, preschool education using the Pyramid programme, and safety policy met the requirements. The accommodation has sufficient indoor and outdoor space. The GGD advises inclusion in the National Childcare Register.
