Summary

Kleine Wereld in Obdam is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for toddlers aged 2-4 with 16 places and preschool education. The inspection on 30 January 2025 showed that the location meets all statutory requirements after a minor adjustment. The pedagogical practice appears warm and safe, staff respond sensitively, and children are given room to learn independently. The thematic work with parental involvement (e.g., 'Visiting grandma and grandpa') and the use of the Startblokken program for language, numeracy, and motor skills are noted as strengths. There was one point for improvement: the absence of a description of how volunteers are supervised. The organization corrected this within five working days through a recovery offer (herstelaanbod), so that the location now fully complies. There are no remaining violations. The municipality of Koggenland is advised not to take enforcement measures.
