Summary

Loofles Kinderopvang at Deventerstraat 218 in Apeldoorn was inspected unannounced on 7 November 2025. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) accommodates 28 children and works with fixed groups. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that the location meets all statutory quality requirements examined. The pedagogical practice appeared calm and responsive: during observation, staff attentively observed children, engaged with them, and offered appropriate challenges. All staff hold a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG), are correctly registered in the Childcare Personnel Register, and have appropriate qualifications. The staffing ratio was in order during the visit (9 children, 2 staff members), and parents are informed about the fixed group and assigned staff through intake and the parent app. The safety policy is in order: there is an up-to-date reporting code on domestic violence and child abuse, staff are familiar with the duty to report, consult, and file charges, and these topics are regularly discussed as a team. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
