Kids & Co Spinetpad

Strengths

• Each child has a fixed mentor who serves as the main contact point for parents
• All staff members hold the required qualifications and Certificate of Conduct (VOG)
• A pedagogical coach is present for guidance and quality assurance
• Children are cared for in small groups with correct staff-to-child ratios

Shortcomings

• The pedagogical policy needed to be supplemented with a description of the settling-in process for new children
• During the completion of daily logs, attention to the children was insufficient; new work agreements have been made for this

Summary

Kids & Co Spinetpad is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amersfoort with 32 places for children aged 0-4 years. The inspection on 1 May 2025 assessed the pedagogical climate and personnel policy. After two recovery offers, the location now meets all legal requirements. There were shortcomings in the settling-in policy and in attention to children during the writing of daily logs; both have been resolved through adapted plans and work agreements. No violations remained outstanding. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to take enforcement action.
