Summary

GGD Kennemerland inspected Kindercentrum Blije Engeltjes B.V. in Haarlem on 20 August 2026 for registration. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) provides care for children aged 0 to 4 years in two core groups. The original application for 52 childcare places proved unfeasible due to insufficient space and an outdoor play area only accessible through one group room. The operator adjusted the application to 28 childcare places during the inspection. The pedagogical policy and safety and health policy were supplemented on several points during the inspection. The premises meet the requirements for the adjusted capacity. No violations were identified. The GGD advises registration effective 1 September 2026, provided that all other permits are obtained.
