Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Onze Opvang at St. Cyriacus in Dalfsen on 15 December 2025. The unannounced incidental inspection focused on the application for subsidised early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). The location meets the general quality conditions. There was initially a shortcoming regarding the pedagogical climate: the early childhood education policy was not described in a concrete and verifiable manner. Following a four-week recovery offer (herstelaanbod), the operator submitted an amended policy on 19 January 2026 that does comply. The opening hours (08:30-12:30) guarantee at least 960 hours of early childhood education per child. Staff members hold the required qualifications and a training plan has been established. The operator now meets all conditions for early childhood education.
