About this care

AI
Welcome to Vrolijk Kinderopvang Almere Oosterwold, our small-scale green childcare center located at Burchard de Volderstraat 44 in Almere Oosterwold. We provide care for up to 31 children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location is situated diagonally opposite the ecological primary school 'de Verbeelding', in the middle of a green environment where children have plenty of space to play, discover and grow. At Vrolijk, we work from a holistic vision where learning and caring are seen as one whole. Play is our starting point and development follows naturally. We believe that nature is the perfect environment for children to develop. Their senses are stimulated by the outdoor air and children learn to think creatively through their own play. Sustainability is central to our daily practice. We involve children in preparing healthy, seasonal and plant-based meals. Together we harvest vegetables from our own vegetable garden and teach children where their food comes from. Daily we sing, read aloud, do crafts and draw. Outdoor play is an important part of our day: running, cycling, moving and discovering in nature. Our experienced pedagogical staff provide each child with personal attention in a safe and familiar environment. We use Bitcare to keep parents informed about their child's daily activities and developments. At Vrolijk, your child gets the peace and space to learn about themselves and their place in the world. Together with the children, we contribute to a better world, starting here in our small community.

GGD Inspection

Inspection date: February 19, 2026

6
Strengths
2
Shortcomings
2
Violations
The location does not meet all assessed requirements. Two shortcomings have been identified in the 'Staff and Groups' domain: the deployment of a staff member in training and the staff-to-child ratio. The operator has repeatedly submitted incorrect or incomplete documents, even after previous inspection in 2025 when this had already been discussed.

Strengths

  • The pedagogical policy is well documented and followed in practice
  • The safety and health policy is up to date and adhered to
  • There is always an adult present with a valid first aid certificate
  • The domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is complete and known to staff
  • Parents are adequately informed about policy and complaints procedures
  • The atmosphere at the location is calm and staff work well together

Shortcomings

  • The operator must immediately submit correct and complete documents during supervision inspections
  • Record-keeping systems must be maintained in such a way that actual staffing levels relative to the number of children can always be demonstrated

Violations

  • The deployment of a staff member in training (BBL student) does not meet the conditions: there is no current supervision plan with written consent from the practical supervisor, training supervisor and student, and the student's deployability has not been properly documented
  • The staff-to-child ratio cannot be verified because the operator cannot sufficiently demonstrate what the actual staffing levels are relative to the number of children; staff rosters do not match reality and the 3-hour rule has not been demonstrated

Summary

The annual inspection of 19 February 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Vrolijk Kinderopvang Almere Oosterwold presents a mixed picture. The location does not meet all requirements. Positive aspects include the pedagogical climate, safety and health, and parental rights. However, two serious shortcomings have been identified in the area of staff and groups: the deployment of a staff member in training (BBL student) without proper supervision agreements, and an insufficiently demonstrated staff-to-child ratio due to missing or incorrect documentation. The operator did not make use of the recovery offer. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
