Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kameleon in Middelburg, part of Stichting Kinderopvang Walcheren, was inspected on 9 April 2026 by GGD Zeeland (Municipal Health Service). The location provides care for 32 children aged 2 to 4 years in two toddler groups, with early childhood education through the Uk en Puk programme. The annual inspection demonstrated that the location meets all assessed quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate and staff and groups. No violations or areas for improvement were identified in this inspection.

Historically, violations were identified in 2024 and 2025, which have been resolved following a recovery offer.
