About this care
Kindcentrum Kompas is located at De Tjalk 2 in the centre of Dedemsvaart and is part of Stichting Welluswijs Kindcentra. We provide daycare for children aged 0 to 4 in a safe and stimulating play-and-learn environment. Our qualified staff make sure every child feels seen and valued, so self-confidence can flourish.
Development through play is our guiding principle. We start the day with toddler gym, sing together during ‘music for baby, toddler and pre-schooler’, and then head to our studio for crafts and discovery. Sand- and water-play are on the daily menu, and yoga sessions are offered as well. Of course we read from our extensive children’s library every day and spend as much time as possible outside on our secure green playground.
Parents do not need to bring nappies, wipes or care products; we supply everything. Lunch is a warm, fresh vegetable meal provided by Madaga, and we share fruit and drinks throughout the day. Does your child have an allergy or special diet? We are happy to adjust the menu. Half-day care is possible and flexible hours can be arranged.
We use an officially recognised observation tool to closely monitor each child’s well-being and development. The results are discussed with you during regular personal meetings. Together we ensure a smooth transition to primary school and provide tailored early-years education (VVE).
In short, at Kindcentrum Kompas your child has all the space to play, grow and shine in a homely setting with familiar, caring faces.Read more

Violations

- Good cooperation between daycare and toddler care with individual settling-in programmes
- All childcare professionals hold valid qualifications, Certificate of Conduct (VOG) declarations, and infant first aid certification
- Correct staff-to-child ratios in both groups
- Early childhood education meets all quality requirements with the recognised Uk and Puk programme
Violations
- The radiator in the daycare group (kinderdagverblijfgroep) was not fitted with a radiator cover and was set to too high a temperature (setting 4), creating a real risk of burns for children
- The safety and health policy lacked a concrete action plan with measures, timelines, and procedures for addressing risks
Summary
The annual inspection by GGD IJsselland on 12 March 2026 shows that Kindcentrum Kompas in Dedemsvaart generally performs well on pedagogical climate, staff, and groups. One violation was identified in the area of safety and health: an unprotected radiator in the daycare group (kinderdagverblijfgroep) posed a serious burn hazard for children. A concrete action plan was also missing from the safety policy. This was a repeated violation (recurrence) since April 2024. The operator was given a recovery offer of four weeks. At follow-up inspection on 13 April 2026, the violation was found to be resolved: radiators have been fitted with covers. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
