Summary

The annual inspection on 22 July 2026 at daycare center at Home 'het Land' in Spijkenisse presents a mixed picture. The location provides daycare for 31 children aged 0–4 years. Although health and safety policy, the reporting obligation, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) registration, and parent participation are now in order, there are serious shortcomings in the areas of pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, and qualified staff-to-child ratios. One staff member was found not to hold the correct qualification, meaning the statutory staffing level was not met. In pedagogical practice, children were also not approached with sufficient sensitivity and responsiveness. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
