Summary

GGD Kennemerland conducted an unannounced inspection at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Rainbow Daycare in Nieuw-Vennep on 30 September 2025. The location, taken over by a new operator on 1 July 2025, provides care for 60 children aged 0-4. The report presents a mixed picture: safety, health, accommodation and parental rights comply with the law, but there are serious shortcomings in the areas of administration, staff and pedagogical climate. The operator received a recovery offer for the pedagogical policy, which has since been implemented. For other violations, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement, with mitigating circumstances for qualification requirements.
