About this care

AI
Welcome to VIPKids Goverwelle, our daycare center located at Middenmolenplein 104 in Gouda. Step into our enchanting fairy-tale village where children aged 0 to 4 can safely and happily develop. Our location is part of VIPKids Holding BV, founded by Larissa Borissenko and Mike van Vliet, who have been providing childcare with passion and professional care since 2012. Our fairy-tale spaces are specially designed to spark children's imagination. With a circus entrance featuring stuffed animals, bubble machines and sparkling lights, children enter a miniature version of real life. We have a hair salon, clothing boutique, flower shop, car garage with gas station and a baby hotel. At the heart of our daycare stands a large fairy-tale tree where children can play together and share stories. We work with vertical groups where children of different ages play and learn together. This stimulates social development and gives younger children the opportunity to learn from older children. Our pedagogical staff carefully guide this process and give each child the attention they need. Our educational program is based on the VVE method Uk & Puk, with which we work around a new theme every month. We stimulate children's motor, social and language development through targeted activities that match their developmental stage. Think of making music, dancing, crafts, cooking and baking, but also developing language skills through reading aloud and telling stories together. At VIPKids Goverwelle, all care products are included. We provide free diapers, wipes, bottle feeding, food and drinks. Every day we serve fresh vegetables and fruit and we take into account the nutritional needs of young children. For babies we have a special baby corner with cuddle couches and luxury playpens. Our outdoor space is a beautiful garden with play equipment where children can romp and discover nature. When the weather is nice, we also offer the opportunity to sleep outside, which children often experience as a special experience. Your child's safety is our top priority, which is why our daycare is equipped with camera security and a secure entry system. We cordially invite you to come for a personal tour. This is completely non-binding and free of charge. During this tour you can get to know our location, our staff and our approach. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to our fairy-tale village!

GGD Inspection

Violations

Inspection date: February 26, 2026

3
Strengths
6
Shortcomings
3
Violations
Insufficient compliance with quality requirements for pedagogical policy and safety and health policy; staff and groups and pedagogical practice are in order.

Strengths

  • Pedagogical practice meets all requirements: staff provide emotional security and stimulate personal and social competencies
  • Staff and groups meet legal requirements: correct VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) registration, qualification requirements, staff-to-child ratios and stability of care
  • Mentorship is well organized in practice with overviews and observations

Shortcomings

  • Make the pedagogical policy plan more concrete regarding the monitoring and stimulation of child development
  • Add a concrete description of how parents are informed about who their child's mentor is
  • Include an up-to-date description of base groups, including the closure of Momcave since January 2026
  • Define the framework for the three-hour rule more concretely in policy
  • Describe the tasks and supervision of interns, staff in training and volunteers more concretely
  • Describe how emotional security is ensured in the absence of permanent staff

Violations

  • Pedagogical policy is incomplete and insufficiently concrete, preventing staff from working consistently
  • Hygiene measures during nappy changing are inadequately applied: no handwashing after every nappy change, gloves not changed, changing mat insufficiently cleaned, nappies not disposed of immediately
  • Safety and health policy is incomplete and insufficiently concrete: inconsistency between policy and protocol regarding missing children

Summary

The annual inspection of VIPKids Goverwelle in Gouda presents a mixed picture. The pedagogical practice and personnel matters comply with the law, but the pedagogical policy and the safety and health policy are insufficient. The pedagogical policy plan is not concrete enough on six points, including the monitoring of child development, mentorship, group descriptions and the three-hour rule. In practice, staff work differently from what the policy prescribes. Regarding safety and health, hygiene measures during nappy changing are inadequately applied and the missing child protocol is internally inconsistent. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
