Summary

Het Beertje op de Boerderij in Nuland is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 16 places that received an unannounced inspection on 27 March 2025. The pedagogical climate, staffing levels, and parental rights more than met the requirements. However, there were three violations: there was no mentor assigned per child, the safety and health policy was incomplete, and not all staff members were familiar with the mandatory reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations. The location was immediately given a recovery offer: within a short time all children had a mentor, the policy was supplemented and discussed, and the staff received additional instruction. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that quality is now in order and advises the municipality not to enforce.
