Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 28 July 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation into Kinderdagverblijf Sebastiaan in Rotterdam, part of Kindercentrum Ylva B.V. The location provides daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 45 children (0-4 years) across three groups. The investigation focused on quality requirements that were not in order during previous inspections. The operator systematically failed to submit requested documentation within the set deadlines, meaning no previous violation could be resolved. Serious shortcomings were identified across all investigated areas: pedagogical policy, staff qualifications, group structure, safety and health, and parental rights. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam to enforce.
