Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted a registration inspection on 3 August 2026 at childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Ms L.M. van den Cauwelaar in Boxtel, affiliated with childminder agency Het Liefbeestje. The childminder provides care for 6 children at the address of the requesting parents. Initially, there were shortcomings in three areas: the pedagogical work plan lacked concrete descriptions, the outdoor space was insufficiently safely arranged due to an ongoing renovation, and the childminder was unfamiliar with the reporting, consultation, and notification duties. Following recovery offers, the childminder has remedied all identified violations. The GGD advises the municipality of Boxtel to include the location in the National Childcare Register.
