Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Boomladder in Heerhugowaard, part of Stichting Blosse, was inspected on 29 June 2026. The location provides care for 28 children in two base groups and delivers preschool education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). Initially, a violation was identified: the pedagogical work plan did not contain a description of activities where children leave the base group, such as weekly movement lessons and 'visits' to the kindergarten class. Following a recovery offer, the work plan was amended and the location now meets all assessed requirements. Other aspects such as staffing, accommodation, and parent committee are well in order. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
