This concerns a toddler daycare (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 16 places for children aged 2–4 years, located at primary school CBS de Regenboog. The inspection assessed whether the location may begin offering early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). The conclusion is positive: the organization meets all statutory requirements for VE. No violations or shortcomings were identified. The pedagogical policy is concrete and aligned with the recognized Uk & Puk program. Staff members hold the correct qualifications, 12 half-day sessions of VE training, and language proficiency level 3F. A pedagogical policy officer has been appointed, and the training plan is evaluated annually. The municipality is advised to include the location as a VE location in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK) with effect from 1 September 2024.
