Summary

KDV Nautilus B.V. in Elburg is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 30 children aged 0 to 4 years. This follow-up inspection, which followed an annual inspection on 27 July 2026 with multiple shortcomings, has shown that the location now meets all assessed requirements. The previous violations concerned pedagogical policy (four-eyes principle, playpen safety, development line), staff qualifications (language requirement, policy staff member qualification), stability of care (consent for merging groups) and safety and health (accessible washing machine, cleaning products, first aid certificate, action plan). All shortcomings have been resolved: the policy has been rewritten, training courses have been adjusted or completed, forms have been developed and safety measures have been implemented such as an enclosure around the washing machine and a safety gate at the toilet.
