Summary
GGD Twente conducted a registration inspection on 27 May 2026 at childminder/host parent J.W. Valk in Rijssen, commissioned by the municipality of Rijssen-Holten. The childcare takes place in the requesting parent's home via childminder/host parent agency Kroost Nannies, for children aged 0 to 13 years. The childminder/host parent has the required qualifications (Bachelor's degree in primary school teaching) and certificates (first aid valid until 2028). Several safety risks were identified: missing stair gates on the first floor, an unshielded sunken seating area in the garden, garden tools that had not been stored away, a toilet rim block within reach, and a bucket with cigarette butts. These were discussed with the childminder/host parent and the requesting parent, who provisionally accept the risks and will take measures. The pedagogical practice could not be assessed as the childcare had not yet started. No recovery offer was issued.
