About this care
Welcome to Peuteropvang In ’t Park, located in the heart of primary school In ’t Park at Reinoud van Gelderstraat 63 in Susteren. For many years we have been a trusted place for toddlers aged 2 to 4, working closely with the school and with MIK Spelenderwijs, the childcare organisation that manages us. Thanks to this unique partnership our toddler group and the kindergarten children of the reception class even share one classroom. This creates a natural transition and a familiar feeling when your child eventually moves on to primary school.
We offer a safe, small-scale environment with a maximum of 16 children per day. Our horizontal group structure means children play and learn in age-based groups. The room is bright, clearly arranged and fitted with corners for language, numeracy, creative development and relaxation. We use themes that connect with the world as toddlers experience it and provide materials that invite exploration and play. Outside we have our own secure playground where children can enjoy fresh air and movement suited to their developmental level every day.
Pre-school education (VVE) is not an extra at our centre; it is the foundation of our programme. We focus on language development, social skills and independence. Our pedagogical staff are trained in working with young children and are familiar with the objectives of the VVE programme. They observe, stimulate and offer additional support where needed. We also take allergies and dietary requirements into account; healthy snacks and drinks are included.
Parents can choose half or full days, depending on what best fits the family rhythm. We value parental involvement: you are always welcome to drop in for a look, a chat or to join an activity. Together we ensure that your child feels at home with us and explores the world with pleasure and confidence.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: April 9, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical policy is concrete and is followed in practice
- Safety and health policy meets statutory requirements
- Childcare professionals hold the correct qualifications, early education (VE) certificates, and language proficiency level 3F
- Pre-school education is carried out adequately using the Speelplezier programme
- Good coordination between childcare professionals and primary school teachers
- Parental involvement is actively encouraged
Violations
- The group effectively consists of more than 16 children because toddlers and preschoolers structurally share the same space, failing to meet the maximum group size for pre-school education
- The toddler daycare does not have its own, exclusive core group room because it is structurally shared with preschoolers from the primary school
- There is no fixed core group as legally required, because children from primary education are structurally present in the group room
- Pedagogical policy lacked a concrete description of how children are informed who their mentor is (resolved following recovery offer)
Summary
The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 9 April 2026 of toddler daycare PO In 't Park in Susteren presents a mixed picture. The location provides pre-school education to 16 toddlers (ages 2–4) using the Speelplezier programme, in cooperation with primary school In 't Park. Although the pedagogical climate, safety policy, and deployment of qualified childcare professionals are good, there are fundamental shortcomings in group organisation and accommodation. The toddlers structurally share the group room with preschoolers from the primary school, meaning there is no legally required fixed core group with its own room. This has been a known issue since 2024. One improvement point regarding mentor disclosure has been resolved through a recovery offer. The GGD advises enforcement with mitigating circumstances.
