Summary

This inspection report concerns a registration investigation for childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Nobel in Dordrecht. The childminder, Ms. Isa Elynn Nobel, will provide care at the requesting parent's home address through childminder agency ViaViela. The inspection took place before the care provision actually commenced. The supervisor concludes that the provision is reasonably expected to meet the quality requirements. The childminder has a good pedagogical work plan, sufficient diplomas and certificates, and has implemented appropriate safety measures. During the inspection visit, the childminder was initially found to be unaware of the procedure for contacting the confidential inspector and making a police report; this knowledge was restored during the visit. No violations were identified.
