About this care
Welcome to Little Happiness, a small-scale daycare center located at Meint Veningastraat 19 in Hoogezand. With us, everything revolves around fun and play. We provide care for up to 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our goal is to create a safe and stimulating environment where children can develop freely.
We believe it's important that children have fun with us; play comes first! Additionally, we provide healthy nutrition, free from unnatural additives, so that the child receives the right building blocks to grow and develop. Our location is officially registered and guarantees quality childcare in a homely atmosphere.
At Little Happiness, we work with a small, close-knit team that cares for the children with lots of love and attention every day. We believe in a personal approach where each child gets the space to be themselves and discover what they enjoy. Due to our small scale, we know each child well and can respond appropriately to individual needs.
We warmly invite you to come and see our location and experience how we work. For more information or to make an appointment, you can contact us at info@kdv-littlehappiness.nl or by phone at 06-15650343.Read more

Summary
Little Happiness in Hoogezand is a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 16 children aged 0 to 4 years. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the location on 13 January 2026. The pedagogical climate and accommodation meet requirements well: there is a relaxed atmosphere, staff members are attentive, and the spaces are safely and appropriately furnished. However, multiple shortcomings were identified in the areas of personnel, safety, and parent rights. Some of these were resolved through a recovery offer (herstelaanbod), but not all. The holder has failed to resolve multiple violations, including incomplete staff qualifications, an incomplete reporting protocol, a missing inspection report on the website, and no adequate parent committee (oudercommissie) or alternative parent consultation. The complaints procedure (klachtenregeling) also does not meet requirements. The GGD advises the municipality to enforce.
