CompaNanny Bajeskwartier

Strengths

• Detailed pedagogical policy with attention to emotional safety, child-led practice, and developmental stimulation
• Good administrative organisation with digital accessibility
• Sufficient indoor space and sleeping areas per group
• Outdoor space of 297 m² meets requirements
• Team is supported by experienced regional pedagogical coaches
• Minimum of 1, preferably 2 internally progressing staff members per group for continuity

Shortcomings

• Pedagogical policy initially did not fully meet requirements regarding staff deployment; this was corrected in the version dated 6 August 2026
• Information about the heat recovery system still needs to be included in the location-specific work plan
• The complaints procedure must more explicitly state that parents may also submit a complaint about the agreement between the provider and parent; the provider will amend this
• Outdoor space was not yet set up at the time of inspection; completion scheduled for 20 August 2026
• Draft rosters still showed an unfilled shift in baby group 2; the provider has multiple applications in progress

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected CompaNanny Bajeskwartier, a new daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam Oost, on 10 August 2026. This was an inspection following an application for an operating license. The location offers places for 99 children divided across 7 core groups (4 baby groups and 3 toddler groups). During the start-up phase, 3 baby groups and 1 toddler group will open. The inspection assessed documents, conducted interviews, and carried out a site visit. Actual practice could not yet be evaluated as the location was not yet operational.
