Summary

Kindercentrum Basker at Laan van Chartroise 166 in Utrecht is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 61 places, part of Basker Kinderopvang B.V. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced follow-up inspection on 7 September 2026 following hygiene shortcomings identified during the annual inspection in June 2026. The location received a formal direction from the municipality on 13 August 2026 because the safety and health policy was not being followed. There was insufficient cleaning: group rooms, play materials and storage rooms were soiled with dust, sand, dead insects and waste. During the follow-up inspection in September, the shortcomings were found to have been remedied. The group rooms make a clean impression and communication with the cleaning company has improved. Whether the improvements are sustainable cannot yet be determined.
