Summary

GGD inspection on 27 March 2025 at Kindcentrum Tierelantijn (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV, 76 places, 0-4 years) in Vlijmen. Following recovery offer on two points, the location now meets all quality requirements.

Strong points: safe pedagogical climate, sufficient qualified staff, good child-to-staff ratios, effective preschool education according to 'De drie pedagogen', structural parental involvement and handover to primary school. Points for improvement: continue desired structure around mealtime rituals and ongoing monitoring of air quality. Advice to municipality of Heusden: no enforcement.
