Lindelicht

Strengths

• Relaxed, homely atmosphere in which children feel emotionally safe
• Staff members are sensitive and responsive in their interactions with children
• High level of children's play involvement, with plenty of individual attention
• The pedagogical policy plan is comprehensive and is well implemented in practice
• Staff members are sufficiently familiar with the core pedagogical objectives
• All staff members received coaching in 2025
• Sufficient consistent caregivers and mentorship for each child
• Correct staff-to-child ratio and presence of backup staff

Shortcomings

• The hours allocation for the pedagogical policy staff member must consist exclusively of pedagogical tasks; non-pedagogical tasks such as fire safety and general safety should not be included

Violations

• Incorrect calculation of the number of hours the pedagogical policy staff member was required to work: the holder based this on 6 locations while 7 locations were registered in the LRK (National Childcare Register), meaning the hours allocation did not meet requirements

Summary

KDV Lindelicht in Almere, part of Opvang Krullevaartje B.V., received an unannounced visit on 2 February 2026 for an annual inspection. The inspection covered the pedagogical climate and staff and groups. The location meets all assessed requirements following a recovery offer. There is a relaxed, homely atmosphere in which children feel at ease. The pedagogical policy is comprehensive and is well implemented in practice. One violation was identified: the calculation of hours for the pedagogical policy staff member was incorrect (based on 6 rather than 7 locations). The holder remedied this within the set deadline. A remark was made regarding the allocation of PBM (pedagogical policy staff member) hours, in which non-pedagogical tasks had been included. The advice to the municipality is no enforcement action.
