Summary

GGD Flevoland inspected daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) de Zeesterren in Urk for registration at the new location Pieter Floriszplein 3. The daycare center accommodates 90 children (0-4 years) in 6 core groups, including 4 toddler groups with pre-school education through Startblokken. The inspection took place shortly after completion of the building in Brede School De Driemaster. The indoor spaces were structurally ready but still empty; furniture and toys were to follow later. The outdoor space had not yet been constructed and could not be assessed, but the planning was ready for the childcare start date (28 April 2026). All assessed areas (registration, pedagogical policy, pre-school education, staff, safety policy, accommodation) met legal requirements. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
