Violations

• Incorrect description in pedagogical policy plan/location guide: according to the guide, the Zeehondengroep offered 12 hours of VE per week over 52 weeks (936 hours total), whereas 960 hours in 1.5 years is legally required.

Summary

Kindercentrum Jonas in 's-Gravenhage, part of gro-up, was inspected on 21 May 2026 by GGD Haaglanden. The annual inspection shows a generally well-functioning daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 66 childcare places and five core groups, two of which offer early education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). The pedagogical practice aligns well with the policy, with thematic work and attention to language development. One violation was identified: the location guide incorrectly stated that the Zeehondengroep offers 12 hours of VE per week for 52 weeks per year, amounting to 936 hours instead of the legally required 960 hours in 1.5 years. The opening hours on the website were also incorrect. The holder resolved this through a recovery offer; the updated location guide was submitted on 30 June 2026. Otherwise, the childcare facility meets all requirements in areas such as personnel, safety, accommodation, and parent committee.
