Summary

GGD inspection of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Boer'n Bengels in Hardinxveld-Giessendam on 16 April 2026. The agricultural daycare center, located on a dairy farm with 32 childcare places, is compliant after recovery offer on all assessed conditions. The pedagogical quality is good: there is a relaxed atmosphere, staff members are sensitive and responsive, and children feel emotionally safe.

The violations concerned the pedagogical policy (group procedures and staff deployment), the deployment of a pedagogical coach (absent in 2025), the safety and health policy (safe sleeping and expired first aid certificate), and the parent committee (not established within 6 months, no regulations). The accommodation is suitably furnished with sufficient indoor and outdoor play space. Advice to municipality: no enforcement action.
