Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Amsterdam on 29 July 2026 shows that daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Orchidee in Amsterdam meets all inspected quality requirements. The sole proprietorship with 27 childcare places and 3 core groups (0-4 years) is led by a professionally trained (hbo-educated) owner. The stable team provides responsible care with attention to emotional security and social skills. No violations were identified. The safety and health policy could more clearly reference protocols, and periodic monitoring of the indoor environment with a CO2 meter is not yet being carried out. The provider has promised to improve this. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises accepting the report for information purposes.
