Summary

Kinderopvang Kidz&zo in Deurne is a small-scale private daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 58 places, divided across five core groups for children aged 0-4 years. The location also provides early childhood education. During the annual inspection on 26 August 2025, two violations were identified: insufficient supervision during early childhood education (staff-to-child ratio) and failure to meet hygiene standards for storing breast milk. A concrete description of the backup care arrangement was also missing from the safety policy. The provider made use of a recovery offer, and all violations have since been resolved. The municipality was advised not to take enforcement measures. The facility otherwise meets all other quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff, group structure, safety, health, and parent involvement.
