Summary
The annual inspection of 24 February 2026 of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Babysteps of Kinderopvang Raad B.V. in Hilversum shows a predominantly positive picture. The location with one group for children aged 0 to 4 years meets all inspected quality requirements: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. The Montessori approach with its focus on independence is well implemented. No violations or points for improvement were identified in this inspection. However, at the post-registration inspection in March 2025, a violation was found regarding the backup arrangement; this has been fully remedied following a recovery offer. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
