Summary

The annual inspection on 2 June 2025 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) 't Egeltje in Erp shows that the location meets all assessed quality requirements. The inspection, conducted by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hart voor Brabant on behalf of municipality Meierijstad, evaluated the pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and accommodation. One negative observation was made: two staff members were wearing nail polish and one had long nails, contrary to the hygiene policy. This was discussed and addressed immediately. The location provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 0-4 years in one fixed group. The advice to the municipal executive is: no enforcement action.
