Summary

This Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report concerns a follow-up investigation on 18 June 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Het Schatjes & Schoffiesparadijs in Almere, conducted by GGD Flevoland on behalf of the municipality of Almere. The investigation focused on verifying whether previously identified violations from the annual inspection of 25 November 2025 had been resolved. The location provides daycare for 38 children in 3 core groups. Most deficiencies have been sufficiently addressed, including training requirements (infant training), deployment of staff in training, consistent caregivers, and working in accordance with the safety policy. A full assessment of the outdoor space could not be provided; this will be included in the next annual inspection. The provider demonstrates a positive, development-oriented attitude with proactive quality improvement.
