Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Haaglanden of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Oliver Rakkers in 's-Gravenhage shows a mixed picture. The small-scale daycare for a maximum of 12 children (0-4 years, currently mainly 0-2 years) scores well on pedagogical climate, accommodation, and parent involvement. However, two violations were identified. Regarding staff and groups, there is a recurrence: during the lunch break, only one childcare professional was present without a supporting adult, while this is mandatory. Regarding safety and health, the policy was incomplete (missing risks and measures) and there was a deviation from the own safe sleeping protocol due to the use of an insufficiently firm mattress in a crib. Both violations fell under a recovery offer. The missing policy has been supplemented and the crib has been removed, although the holder disputes the finding regarding safe sleeping. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
