Violations

• Deployment of staff in training: on 20 March 2026, the toddler group had two work-study students (BBL'ers) without a qualified staff member present, while at least one certified employee is mandatory

Summary

Kinderdagverblijf Billie B.V. in Amsterdam-West was inspected unannounced on 20 March 2026. The location provides daycare for up to 60 children across 5 fixed groups. The pedagogical climate is predominantly positive: staff adequately stimulate children's development and safeguard emotional safety. Two violations were identified. First, on 20 March 2026, two work-study students (BBL'ers) were working in the toddler group without a qualified staff member present. Second, the indoor climate protocol was insufficient: concrete measures and responsibilities were lacking, not all staff were familiar with the protocol, and one CO² meter was poorly readable. A recovery offer was made for both violations, which was successfully completed. The operator demonstrated a proactive attitude and implemented structural improvements, including a revised internship policy and an updated indoor climate protocol with clear work instructions.
