Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Zaanstreek-Waterland at Kindertuin KDV in Westzaan shows a predominantly positive picture. The location provides daycare for up to 12 children from birth to school age. The pedagogical practice is satisfactory: staff provide emotional security, stimulate social competencies, and work sensitively and responsively. Personnel and group sizes also meet requirements, with correctly registered staff members and appropriate qualifications. There were two shortcomings for which a recovery offer was made: the pedagogical policy plan lacked concrete descriptions of settling into a new core group and guidance of students, and the distribution of pedagogical policy hours across multiple childcare centers was not transparent. The holder remedied both points within the set deadline. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
