Summary

The annual inspection of 18 March 2026 of toddler daycare Kinderwoud Oude/Nieuwehorne in Nieuwehorne, part of Kinderwoud Kinderopvang B.V., shows that the location meets all assessed statutory requirements. The inspection involved an unannounced visit examining the pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. The pedagogical practice scores well on all four basic goals: emotional security, personal competence, social competence, and transfer of norms and values. The preschool education (VE) with the Uk and Puk programme also meets requirements. Due to staff changes, a backlog has developed in administrative tasks such as the child tracking system, group plans and development plans; the cluster manager is addressing this with extra hours and support from the pedagogical coach. The parent committee is satisfied with the quality.
