Summary

Kindercentrum Poko Loko in Zuidbroek, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 60 places offering early childhood education, was inspected on 1 December 2025. The location operates with four permanent groups: two baby groups, one toddler group, and one preschooler group. Most areas comply with legal requirements, including general terms and conditions, staff and groups, accommodation, and parental rights. The pedagogical climate in practice is good, with sensitive and responsive interactions. However, a violation was identified in the area of early childhood education: the provision of 960 hours per year was not described in concrete terms. Despite a recovery offer and a revised policy, the location still does not meet this requirement, as a concrete description of days and times is lacking. The ventilation of bedrooms is an area for attention; the operator has taken measures until a new environmental permit is granted.
