Summary

KDV Atelier in Diemen is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 76 places, located within the Het Atelier integrated school. The location provides early education (VE) using the Uk en Puk program. An unannounced annual inspection took place on 13 January 2026. All quality requirements examined in the areas of pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health have been fully met. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff provide emotional security, stimulate development through theme-based activities, and guide children in conflict resolution. Due to staff shortages, one vertical group has been closed since 2024; the focus is on building a stable team for the remaining groups. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises that the report be received for information purposes.
