Summary

KinderWORLD in cooperation with Zonnewiel/Olijfboom in Almere is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 1.5–4 years that was inspected unannounced on 19 June 2025. Following a recovery offer, the location now meets all assessed requirements. The pedagogical practice appears calm and loving: children are given space to choose, staff communicate kindly and stimulate language and social skills. The policy was initially incomplete; descriptions of working methods, group size and the four-eyes principle were missing or did not match practice. The holder submitted an adjusted policy within one week in which these points have been recorded in a concrete and up-to-date manner. No violations were identified. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to take enforcement action.
