Summary

KDV Ganapja in Gennep provides care for 30 children aged 0–4 years in two core groups, including a toddler group with early education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 18 September 2025 shows that the location meets all statutory quality requirements. The pedagogical climate is good: there is a clear policy plan, the practice is development-oriented, and the early education method 'Uk & Puk' is used effectively. Children are challenged in their motor, cognitive, language, and social skills. The staff are well-qualified, the groups are stable, and safety is assured. No violations were identified. The only point of attention is increasing staff knowledge of the duty to report, consult, and file notifications (meld-, overleg- en aangifteplicht). The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
