Summary

On 28 July 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted a post-application inspection at Kleintje Zuid Rijk Kramer B.V., a new half-day care facility (halve-dagopvang/hdo) for up to 16 children aged 2 to 4 years in Amsterdam. The location shares its group room with an after-school care (BSO) facility at the Rijk Kramerschool. The pedagogical policy plan and the health and safety policy initially did not meet all requirements, but were amended and approved following recovery requests. There were two recovery offer situations: the absence of a hand-washing facility near the changing mat (resolved via school toilets before opening) and stairs with uneven steps that may pose safety risks. The GGD concludes that the location will reasonably meet the quality requirements and recommends granting permission to operate.
