Violations

• The intake group does not have its own, separate core group room; since 8 January 2026, the room has been used simultaneously by a kindergarten group from primary school Prins Maurits, which does not comply with Article 1.50(1) and (2) of the Childcare Act and Article 10(2) of the Childcare Quality Decree

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Haaglanden on 30 March 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Jippie Frankenthaler in De Lier shows predominantly positive findings, with one violation in the accommodation domain. The location provides care for 24 toddlers (ages 2–4) in two core groups and works with the ECE programme Uk & Puk. The pedagogical climate, staff, safety, and health meet all requirements. Since January 2026, the intake group for older toddlers has shared its room with a kindergarten group from primary school Prins Maurits, meaning there is no separate core group room. The provider acknowledges the violation but states that this collaboration was deliberately chosen to support the continuous pathway to primary school. The municipality of Westland and the provider are in discussion about a solution.
