Summary

The annual inspection of IKC Don Bosco (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in 's-Heerenhoek, part of Kibeo, shows a mixed picture. The location meets the requirements for pedagogical climate, domestic violence and child abuse reporting code, mandatory reporting/consultation/filing obligations, information provision to parents, and complaints handling. However, two violations were identified: a shortcoming in the safety and health policy (loose window cords in the toddler group) and a parent committee that was not established. Additionally, a violation was found in the area of personnel and groups: a teacher from the cooperating kindergarten class did not have a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and was not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK). The safety issue was resolved through a recovery offer. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
