Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 20 November 2025 concerns a post-registration investigation at LPS kinderopvang Ste Marie, an after-school care (BSO) in Huijbergen for a maximum of 30 children (ages 4–13). The location meets most legal requirements in the areas of administration, pedagogical climate, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. One violation was identified: a staff member did not hold a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and was not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register. This employee had been hired via the education sector, meaning the standard onboarding process for childcare had not been followed. The provider complied with the recovery offer; the shortcoming was resolved within one week (on 26 November 2025). The GGD advises the municipality of Woensdrecht not to apply enforcement action due to the timely resolution.
