Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) annual inspection on 29 January 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Luchtballon in Bergen (L) shows an overall well-functioning location. The pedagogical practice is strong, with sensitive and responsive staff who provide children with emotional safety and stimulate their development. Two violations were identified for which a recovery offer was made: the pedagogical policy plan was missing a description of tasks and guidance for group assistants, and consent forms for care in a second core group did not meet legal requirements. Both shortcomings were resolved by the holder within the timeframe. The GGD advises no enforcement.
