Summary

The annual inspection of 19 March 2026 at toddler daycare Madelief (KDV Sneek Simon Havinga) in Sneek shows that the location meets all statutory quality requirements. The toddler daycare, part of KidsFirst COP groep, provides care for 16 children aged 2–4 years in one stable group. Subsidized early childhood education is offered through the Uk & Puk program. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff act sensitively and responsively, provide structure, and stimulate children's development across all pedagogical basic objectives. The premises are adequate with sufficient indoor and outdoor space. All staff hold the required diplomas, Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), and registration in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang). In 2025 there was still a violation regarding early childhood education that led to enforcement, but this year no violations or areas for improvement were identified. The advice to the municipality is therefore not to enforce.
