Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden conducted a registration inspection on 9 June 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Berend Botje, location Robbedoes in Medemblik. The location offers daycare for a maximum of 14 children aged 2 to 4 years in one fixed group, with early education through the Startblokken programme. Operations are planned to commence on 1 August 2026. The inspection demonstrates that the holder meets the assessed quality requirements. The indoor space (49.9 m²) is suitable for 14 children, fewer than the originally requested 30 places. The outdoor space is sufficient. All policy plans (pedagogical, safety and health, complaints) are in place. Practical assessment of pedagogical practice, staff-child ratios, and implementation will follow during a subsequent inspection.
