Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Blauwkapje in Rijswijk, part of Kinderopvang Morgen, was inspected on 4 August 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Haaglanden. The location provides care for a maximum of 83 children aged 0-4 years in 5 core groups and incorporates elements of anthroposophy. The overall assessment is positive: the pedagogical practice aligns well with the policy, staff demonstrate warmth and attentiveness, and most safety conditions are met. One violation was identified: children were sleeping outdoors in cribs despite a rat infestation in the outdoor area, which posed risks to health and safety. The provider resolved this immediately following the recovery offer and advice from the Living Environment department. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
