Violations
Inspection date: July 21, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice is good: emotional safety, personal and social competence, and norms and values are adequately safeguarded
- Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and registration in the Childcare Persons Register are in order
- Training and expertise meet the new requirements effective 1 July 2026
- Use of Dutch as the language of communication is in order
- Group composition meets statutory requirements
- Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is known
Shortcomings
- Risk assessment must be amended so that measures for lead pipes are fully and correctly described
- The childcare location must be completely smoke-free, including the garden
- The childminder (gastouder) may not transfer children to third parties, including the requesting parent's partner
Violations
- Registration/compliance with definition of childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang): the childminder was absent during an unannounced visit and children were left with the requesting parent's partner, which is contrary to agency policy and the definition of childminder/host parent care
- Pedagogical work plan was incomplete at first inspection (missing components on policy plan, daily routine, activity programme, settling in new children, tracking development) - remedied after recovery offer
- Play and sleeping space and outdoor play facility: the childcare was not smoke-free, the childminder smoked in the garden with risk of third-hand smoke
- Implementation of risk assessment for safety and health: measures for lead pipes were not described and the presumed risk ('boiling water') was incorrect
Summary
The annual inspection of 21 July 2026 at childminder/host parent (gastouder) M.J. Kenswiel in Rotterdam presents a mixed picture. The pedagogical practice, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), expertise, training, language requirement, group composition, and reporting protocol are all in order. However, multiple violations were identified: the childminder was absent during an unannounced visit and left children with the requesting parent's partner, the childcare location was not smoke-free (smoking in the garden), and the risk assessment document was incomplete regarding lead pipes. The pedagogical work plan was initially missing several components, but was subsequently approved after a recovery offer (herstelaanbod). The childminder has indicated in her statement of views that she will remedy all shortcomings.
