Kinderopvang Engeltjes

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice aligns well with policy; childcare professionals communicate sensitively and responsively with children
• All childcare professionals hold appropriate qualifications and meet the IKK language requirement
• Sufficient staff-child ratio and stable group composition with familiar faces and mentorship
• Safety and health policy is complete, including protocols for missing children and safe sleeping
• Child first-aid certified staff always present

Shortcomings

• Expand outdoor space or reduce number of childcare places to 40
• Improve accessibility of Purple and Green groups so they can be reached independently

Violations

• The indoor and outdoor spaces are not safely, accessibly and appropriately arranged: the Purple and Green groups are not independently accessible (must go through other group rooms) and the outdoor space (120.1 m²) is too small for 41 childcare places (minimum 123 m² required)

Summary

Kinderopvang Engeltjes in Den Haag was inspected on 14 April 2026 by GGD Haaglanden. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) accommodates a maximum of 41 children (0-4 years) in four base groups. The inspection showed that pedagogical quality, staff qualifications, safety procedures, and group stability are well in order. However, a violation was identified in the Accommodation domain: the group rooms of the Purple and Green groups are not independently accessible. Parents and staff must walk through other group rooms to reach them. The outdoor space is also too small at 120.1 m² for 41 childcare places (minimum 123 m² required). The operator has committed to reducing the number of childcare places to 40. The supervisor advises enforcement.
