Summary

Daycare center De Vlindertuin (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Lelystad was visited on 27 January 2026 for an unannounced annual inspection. The location cares for 48 children in three base groups (ages 0-4). The overall conclusion is that the location meets the assessed requirements. There is a pleasant atmosphere, staff are sensitive and responsive, and stimulate children's development. The pedagogical policy is well implemented with attention to language enrichment, participation, and challenging activities. One recovery offer was issued due to incomplete descriptions in the safety and health policy (risks regarding sudden infant death syndrome, child transport, four-eyes principle, hygiene). The operator revised the policy on 6 February 2026, after which all requirements were met.
