Summary

KDV Kleine Ark in Zeewolde is a small-scale Christian playgroup (peuterspeelzaal) for a maximum of 15 children aged 2–4 years, located within primary school De Lichtkring. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 30 September 2025. All assessed areas (pedagogical policy, staff registration, safety and health policy, domestic violence reporting protocol, parent information, parent committee, and complaints procedure) meet legal requirements. The practical assessment shows that the team actively applies the pedagogical policy: themes are visibly developed, children are approached positively, and there is considerable attention to individual care. Safety procedures such as evacuation drills, child headcounts, and missing child prevention are in order. Staff are correctly registered in the PRK and hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). Parents are informed via the website, parent portal, and newsletters; there is an active joint parent committee and a functioning complaints procedure. The location received no written complaints in the past year.
