Summary

Kindercentrum De verborgen Schat B.V. in Woerden, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 85 children (ages 0-4), was inspected on 17 August 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Utrecht region. The annual inspection showed that the location met requirements in two domains after a recovery offer: safety and health, and accommodation. The remaining domains (pedagogical climate and staff and groups) were found fully compliant immediately. Play equipment in the outdoor area posed a safety risk due to missing handrails and fall hazards. A valid inspection certificate was also absent. Following a recovery offer, the equipment was removed, after which requirements were met. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
