Summary

Kinderopvang Noor is a new daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Den Haag for a maximum of 15 children aged 0-4 years. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Haaglanden conducted a registration inspection on 20 May 2026. The location meets all quality requirements of the Childcare Act. There was one spatial issue: the indoor space of 52.7 m² was insufficient for the applied-for 16 places (minimum 56 m² required). Following consultation, it was decided to register the location with 15 places. The exclusive outdoor space of 39.1 m² was also too small, but is compensated by adjacent outdoor space from nearby locations. The tap at the changing table was not working; hand washing takes place at the toilet in the hallway. The operator was alerted to potential lead pipes in the building (constructed before 1960) and the upcoming ban on these. There are no violations or recovery offers.
