Summary

The annual inspection by GGD IJsselland on 4 June 2026 shows that Chr. kindcentrum De Driester in Genemuiden generally provides good childcare. The location, part of Stichting IJsselrijk, offers daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV), toddler care (peuteropvang) and after-school care (BSO) with 32 childcare places. In the areas of pedagogical climate and staff and groups, the location meets all requirements. However, one violation was identified in the area of safety and health: children were going outside via an open window using a small step ladder instead of through the door, creating unnecessary fall risks. Following a recovery offer, this situation was resolved on 16 June 2026; children now go outside via the door and hallway. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
