Summary

Kinderdagverblijf Pendula in Tilburg, part of Xpect013 B.V., was inspected by GGD Hart voor Brabant on 1 September 2026. The unannounced annual inspection demonstrates that the location meets all assessed quality requirements. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) accommodates 64 children aged 0 to 4 years, divided across four groups, and provides subsidized early childhood education using the Startblokken method. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff act in accordance with policy, stimulate social development, and offer theme-based activities. Children's development is tracked using the Kijk! system, and there is a strong continuity pathway with Pendula primary school. Full compliance was also found in the areas of staff (Certificate of Conduct, Persons Register, working language) and safety (reporting protocol, mandatory reporting duty). No areas for improvement or violations were identified. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Tilburg not to take enforcement measures.
