Summary

The annual inspection of 23 February 2026 at childcare 'bij Marloes' in Zwartsluis presents a mixed picture. The small-scale location with a mixed-age group (0-12 years) meets the requirements for administration, pedagogical climate, staff and parental rights. The pedagogical practice is strong: children are approached sensitively, encouraged in their independence and social skills. However, a serious violation was identified in the safety and health domain: babies sleep daily in a pram bassinet, which is not a safe fixed sleeping place. This entails health risks. The holder received a recovery offer for this and indicated in her response that the working method and policy have been adjusted, so that babies now sleep in safe beds. Despite this adjustment, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to enforce due to recurrence on this point.
