Summary

Kinderdagverblijf Onder de Boompjes in Velp is a subsidized early childhood education daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 16 children aged 2 to 4, located at the AZC (asylum seekers' center). The unannounced inspection visit on 24 February 2026 showed that the location performs well in many areas: the pedagogical climate is positive, staff act sensitively and responsively, and the accommodation is suitably arranged. However, multiple violations were identified regarding outings to another location. During transport by cargo bike, the student staff member was solely responsible for the children, meaning the staff-child ratio was not met, the qualification requirements for early childhood education were not observed, and no first-aid-qualified personnel was present. In addition, a student staff member with too small a contract was deployed, and hands were not washed before eating. The provider has taken recovery measures on all points; the violations have been assessed as resolved.
