Kinderopvang De Jagershof B.V.

Strengths

• All checked staff members hold a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and are registered in the Childcare Personnel Register in a timely manner
• The checked childcare workers and pedagogical policy staff member meet the qualification requirements
• The staff-to-child ratio requirements are met during the site visit and in the sample
• The complaints procedure has been documented in writing and meets the set requirements
• The holder is affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee (Geschillencommissie Kinderopvang)

Violations

• Pedagogical policy: practice does not align with the pedagogical policy plan; the policy lacks a concrete description of staff deployment regarding staff-to-child ratios and contains no description of how emotional safety is safeguarded when the regular childcare worker is absent
• Stability of care: a child was placed in a different core group (Mini-Mollen) than their assigned core group (Uiltjes) without prior notification to the parent, because otherwise the staff-to-child ratio could not be met
• Safety and health policy: stair gates were left open, office door was left open while no one was present, hygiene protocol is not being followed (dirty nappy in sink), noticeboard with drawing pins on the baby group poses an unassessed risk, attic spaces are dirty and dusty and not included in the cleaning schedule
• Accommodation: the attic space is not structurally used as indoor play space, meaning the Ienies group has insufficient square metres for 15 children and the Uiltjes group cares for more children (16) than permitted based on available space
• Parent rights: the most recent inspection report is not on the website (only an old 2023 report is present)
• Parent committee: no parent committee has been established, despite repeated efforts

Summary

The annual inspection of 2 July 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Jagershof in Assen reveals serious shortcomings across all five investigated domains: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parent rights. The location does not meet the quality requirements. Notably, multiple violations were previously identified but continue to recur, including the non-structural use of attic spaces, resulting in too many children being accommodated in spaces that are too small. The safety and health policy is also not being adhered to: stair gates are left open, hygiene rules are violated, and a noticeboard with drawing pins poses a risk. A child was moved to a different core group without parental notification. The holder submitted a response with recovery measures, but the report was finalised without these being assessed as resolved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement action.
