Summary

KDV Zizazebra in Sappemeer, an independent daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with baby, toddler, and preschool groups, was inspected on 11 May 2026 by GGD Groningen. The location generally meets the statutory quality requirements well. One violation was identified in the pedagogical policy plan: the handover of child development to after-school care (BSO) was missing. The provider used the recovery offer and remedied this shortcoming. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff provide emotional security, stimulate independence and play, and intervene adequately in conflicts. The accommodation is safe and sufficiently spacious. The advice to the municipality is to take no enforcement measures, but to adjust the number of childcare places from 43 to 42 due to available space.
