Summary

KDV De Dolfijn in Marknesse, operated by Stichting Peuterspeelzalen Roodehaan (under the name Jokidé), was inspected by GGD Flevoland on 19 May 2026. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) provides care for a maximum of 11 toddlers aged 2-4 years in a former church building. The pedagogical practice and accommodation are satisfactory: staff work sensitively and responsively, the spaces are appropriately furnished, and there is sufficient play material. Staff and groups are also in order, with correct qualifications and staff-child ratios. Nevertheless, the location does not meet all legal requirements. There are shortcomings in the pedagogical policy plan (insufficiently described activities outside the core group and intern tasks), the safety and health policy (not location-specific, missing risks and measures), early education (missing vision, incorrect description of 960-hour provision, insufficient training plan), and parental rights (policy and inspection report not on website). The provider has submitted a response in which they indicate they will implement the recommendations.
