Summary

OKC Weisterbeek KDV is a new daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Horst for children aged 0 to 4 years, with a capacity of 64 places. The post-registration inspection took place on 25 June 2026, five weeks after opening. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that the location meets all assessed requirements under the Childcare Act. The pedagogical climate is assessed positively: staff members act sensitively and responsively, stimulate children's development, and provide a warm, safe environment. The accommodation in the newly built premises comfortably exceeds the requirements. Early childhood education is offered with the recognised Startblokken programme. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. Several topics, such as the evaluation of the training plan and the deployment of the pedagogical policy officer, will be included in the first annual inspection due to the recent opening. The parent committee is still being established, which falls within the statutory timeframe.
