Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) ZoeZoe in Reek, a private childcare facility with 10 places for children (ages 0-12), was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 19 January 2026. The location fails to meet multiple quality requirements in the areas of staff, pedagogical policy, safety, and parental rights. Multiple violations were identified, including insufficiently qualified staff, non-compliance with the staff-child ratio, absence of first aid qualifications at certain times, and inadequate parent involvement.
