Summary

GGD inspection at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Hofferie in Enschede, conducted on 3 September 2025. The location provides care for 44 children aged 0-4 years and offers early childhood education. During the inspection, shortcomings were identified in the pedagogical policy and the health and safety policy. The pedagogical work plan had not been adapted to the current situation with temporary units for toddler groups. The health and safety policy was also outdated and lacked current risk assessments, for example regarding nappy changing without direct sight of the group. Following a recovery offer, the location has resolved all shortcomings. The pedagogical practice, accommodation, staffing and parent involvement meet the requirements. There is no grounds for enforcement.
