Summary

Kindercentrum Waterwiebels in Hellevoetsluis, part of De Kinderkoepel Kinderopvang B.V., was inspected unannounced on 24 March 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond. The annual inspection showed that the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 79 children (0-4 years) meets all assessed quality requirements. The pedagogical practice was rated positively: staff respond sensitively and responsively, stimulate children's development, and provide emotional security. Personnel matters, safety and health policy, the domestic violence reporting code, and the duty to report, consult, and file were also found to be in order. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The provider confirmed the positive findings in its response.
