Summary

Kikk BV in Lage Mierde is a small-scale daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for toddlers (ages 2-4) and after-school care (BSO) (ages 2-12), located in Brede school D'n Opstap. During the annual inspection on 2 June 2026, two violations were identified, both remedied through a recovery offer. The pedagogical policy plan was incomplete: the toddler programme was not implemented in accordance with policy (also during holidays), the working method of core groups was not described in concrete terms, familiarisation with new core groups was missing, and tasks of trainees were not recorded. The deployment of the pedagogical policy worker was also calculated incorrectly (1 instead of 2 locations). The holder has remedied everything as of 6 July 2026. The pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), and group stability did meet requirements. Advice to municipality: no enforcement action.
