Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Koters in Woerden, part of Stichting Kind & Co Ludens, was inspected on 12 May 2026. The childcare provides places for up to 16 toddlers (ages 2–4) and uses the Uk & Puk preschool education programme. The pedagogical climate meets requirements following a recovery offer; staff and groups meet requirements directly. The pedagogical practice is considered a strength: staff provide emotional security, work with mentorship, and tailor provision to individual needs. There was one violation: the pedagogical policy insufficiently described the transition and substantive alignment to primary schools other than the location's own primary school. After a recovery offer, the policy has been supplemented and the location now meets requirements. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
