Summary

GGD Zeeland conducted an inspection on 8 September 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Kinderopvang Pinkeltje in Vogelwaarde, on behalf of the municipality of Hulst. This concerned a registration inspection for a new location at Meidoornstraat 2, replacing the current location at Bossestraat. The location accommodates a maximum of 30 children aged 4 to 13 years in one base group. All assessed areas meet statutory requirements: general terms and conditions, pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. Pedagogical practice could not be assessed as childcare had not yet commenced; this will follow at the post-registration inspection. The furnishing of the indoor space will also be monitored extra closely at a subsequent inspection.
