Summary

PSG De Uiltjes is a toddler group of Stichting Kinderopvang KiWi in Beerta, located in primary school De Uilenburcht and open four mornings per week. The inspection found that various quality requirements are met: responsible daycare in accordance with the four core pedagogical objectives, sufficient qualified staff, correct staff-to-child ratio, safe and appropriately furnished spaces, presence of a domestic violence reporting protocol, and parent committee regulations. However, three violations were identified. The pedagogical policy plan lacks a concrete description for safeguarding emotional safety during the absence of a regular staff member. The early education (VE) training plan insufficiently describes how the knowledge and skills of VE staff are maintained; the recovery offer was not completed within the investigation period. The safety and health policy is not up to date: there is no risk assessment and action plan for the new location. The complaints procedure also does not meet all statutory requirements, and parents are not fully informed via the website. The supervisor advises the municipality of Oldambt to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
