Summary

KDV de Ferbining in Nijemirdum is a new toddler daycare for a maximum of 16 children (ages 2-4), located in primary school KBS De Ferbining. During the pre-registration inspection (using the 'Strict at the Gate' method), violations were identified regarding the pedagogical policy and safety and health policy. These have been remediated through a recovery offer within the set timeframe. The location meets most quality requirements, but must fully implement its safety and health policy by no later than 24 September 2026. The advice to the municipality is positive: registration in the National Childcare Register is recommended.
