Since January 2024, the location has been part of childcare organization Kibeo. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 27 November 2025. The location provides early childhood education (VE) using the 'Peuterpraat' program. Across all assessed areas—pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health—the location meets the legal requirements. The staff have a warm, trusting relationship with the children and enthusiastically encourage them to play and develop. All five permanent staff members hold the correct qualifications, VE certificates, and language proficiency level 3F. During the previous inspection on 13 May 2024, a violation was identified regarding the duty to report, consult, and notify, but this has been resolved following a recovery offer (herstelaanbod). The current inspection found no new violations or areas for improvement.
