Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 30 June 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation into daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Jacobeintje in Rockanje, part of Stichting Humankind. This investigation followed an earlier inspection on 30 July 2025 in which violations were identified in three areas: pedagogical policy, staff-to-child ratio, and stability of care. This follow-up investigation examined whether the location meets the quality requirements. All three previously non-compliant items have now been approved. The location has taken measures including adjusting the pedagogical work plan, establishing a protocol for staff absence, hiring new personnel, creating capacity planning, and drawing up a base schedule.
