Summary

The annual inspection of 16 April 2026 at toddler daycare Kleine Reus in Spijkenisse shows a predominantly positive picture. The location, part of Smallsteps B.V., provides early childhood education to 36 children (ages 2–4) across two groups. Almost all quality requirements are in order: pedagogical policy, early childhood education, staff qualifications, group stability, and premises all comply with the law. The only shortcoming concerns the missing parent committee. Despite repeated recruitment attempts through intake interviews, flyers, parent activities, and the parent portal, no parents have come forward. The holder is temporarily offering alternative parent consultation through newsletters. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
