Kidsplanet IJburg B.V.

Strengths

• The child abuse reporting protocol has been corrected and now meets the requirements
• Group placement is in order; children have a fixed home group and are placed in a maximum of 1 other group
• Children have consistent caregivers: a maximum of 2 for babies and 3 for children aged 1 year and older, with at least 1 present per childcare day
• When regular staff members are absent, conscious choices are made for familiar substitutes who know the children

Violations

• The pedagogical policy plan lacks a concrete description of tasks that trainees and staff in training may perform, and how they are supervised; no distinction is made between different training levels
• The pedagogical policy plan insufficiently describes how emotional safety is ensured in the absence of regular staff members; there is no definition of 'familiar face' and no plan B when no familiar face is available
• The administration is inconsistent: staff rosters and child attendance lists do not match, making the staff-to-child ratio unclear
• The holder has not implemented the measures from the order within the set deadline

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 31 March 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kidsplanet IJburg B.V. in Amsterdam, conducted in response to an enforcement procedure by the municipality. The inspection assessed whether the location complies with an earlier order issued on 28 November 2025. Of the six identified violations from the annual investigation in September 2025, two have been resolved: the child abuse reporting protocol and group placement in home groups. However, four violations have not been terminated: an incomplete description of trainee tasks in the pedagogical policy, insufficient description of measures for the absence of regular staff members, and inconsistent administration (staff rosters and attendance lists). The location has 3 groups with 46 childcare places and makes extensive use of temporary agency staff, which makes the situation vulnerable.
