Summary

GGD Amsterdam conducted a post-application inspection on 8 April 2026 at UniKidz Stadshart, a new daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amstelveen. The location is starting with one vertical core group for a maximum of 15 children (ages 0-4) and will later expand to three groups with multilingual childcare and pre-school education. The inspection consisted of document review, a site visit and interviews with management. All quality requirements are deemed to be reasonably met. The organization has clear policy, sufficiently qualified staff and good facilities. However, it was noted that the branch has not yet been registered in the Commercial Register.
