Summary

Marijtje Doets - Peuteropvang De Daltons in Almere is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for a maximum of 16 toddlers aged 2-4 years. The annual unannounced inspection on 18 May 2026 shows a predominantly positive picture. The pedagogical practice is sound: staff members are friendly, provide emotional security, and stimulate children's development. Staff hold the correct diplomas and the staff-child ratio is in order. Safety, health, and accommodation meet the requirements. However, a recovery offer was issued for the 2025 annual complaints report, which was insufficiently specific about the nature of complaints and measures taken. The holder has resolved this and the revised report has been approved.
