About this care

AI
Welcome to Kindercentrum De Kabouters at De Boomgaard 7 in Assen. We are a small-scale daycare centre that has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 2016 under number 310942780. At our De Boomgaard location we offer a warm and stimulating environment for up to 24 children aged 0 to 4. The children are cared for in two fixed horizontal groups: a baby group for children aged 0 to 2 and a toddler group for children aged 2 to 4. Because of our small scale, a familiar and homely atmosphere is created in which every child receives the personal attention they deserve. Our pedagogical staff are ready every day to give the children a safe and cosy place where they can play, discover and grow. We work with fixed core groups and regular staff, so that children always see the same familiar faces. This contributes to a feeling of security and makes the transition from home to childcare as smooth as possible. We also believe that good contact with parents is very important; we are always open for a chat or consultation. Our opening hours are Monday to Friday from 07:30 to 18:00. Outside we have a playground where children can romp to their heart’s content. We offer flexible childcare options, including half-days, and we cooperate with the Broad School so that pre-school education (VVE) is integrated into our daily programme. This means that we already work playfully on skills that will come in handy later at school. In short, at Kindercentrum De Kabouters on De Boomgaard your child gets a second home: small-scale, familiar and always with a smile.

GGD Inspection

Violations

Inspection date: May 27, 2026

3
Strengths
0
Shortcomings
2
Violations
Not all assessed quality requirements have been met. A violation regarding pedagogical policy has not been resolved.

Strengths

  • Staffing and groups: sufficient qualified staff and correct staff-child ratio upon further investigation
  • Schedules and attendance records were correct and reliable during further investigation
  • The location has adjusted its pedagogical policy and sleep protocol following a previous finding

Violations

  • Pedagogical policy is not being implemented as described: despite protocol adjustments in May 2026, a hammock is being used structurally as a sleeping place for children, which does not meet the requirements for a safe sleep environment and increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
  • Previous violation regarding staffing and groups (incorrect staff-child ratio on 30 January 2026 and retroactively altered schedules without objective justification) has been resolved upon further investigation

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Drenthe conducted an unannounced follow-up investigation at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Kabouters in Assen. The inspection took place following a formal directive from the municipality after an annual investigation in February 2026. During the investigation on 27 May 2026, two areas were assessed: pedagogical climate and staffing and groups. The staffing and groups requirement has been met. A violation was identified in the pedagogical climate area that has not been resolved. The location therefore does not meet all statutory quality requirements.
