Summary

Peuterleerplek Toermalijntjes in Den Haag, part of Stichting Jongleren, provides early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) to a maximum of 16 toddlers aged 2.5 to 4 years. The annual unannounced inspection by GGD Haaglanden (Municipal Health Service) showed that the location largely meets the statutory quality requirements. The pedagogical practice aligns well with policy, using methods such as daily schedule cards for structure. The ECE program Pyramid is well implemented, with appropriate furnishing, the KIJK! development tracking system, and cooperation with primary school De Toermalijn. One violation was identified: the safety and health policy did not contain a concrete description of the four-eyes principle for this specific location. The holder made use of a recovery offer and remedied the shortcoming on 3 April 2026. The GGD advises the municipality not to apply enforcement.
