• Information on the website is current and complete
• Early childhood education training plan and deployment of pedagogical policy staff are in order

Violations

• Missing concrete description of how the 960-hour early childhood education requirement is met per child
• Missing concrete description of how the safety and health policy and evaluations are made accessible to staff, trainees, volunteers and parents

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 14 September 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation of PSG De Hopjes in Heiligerlee, a toddler daycare center (peuteropvang) with 16 places operated by Stichting Kinderopvang KiWi. The investigation focused on shortcomings from the annual inspection of 13 January 2026. The location is open four mornings per week and offers subsidised early childhood education. Various previously identified shortcomings have since been resolved, including the pedagogical policy regarding layout, settling-in procedures and supervision of trainees, and the safety and health policy regarding working in accordance with policy, keeping it up to date, risk assessment and the continuous process of shaping and evaluating. The website information provision also now meets requirements. However, three violations remain: the concrete description of 960 hours of early childhood education, the accessibility of the safety and health policy for staff and parents, and both the alternative parent consultation and the complaints annual report under parental rights.
