Summary

This inspection report concerns an incidental investigation into the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of Okken Janga in Zwolle, conducted by Municipal Health Service (GGD) IJsselland. The care takes place in a terraced house in the Holtenbroek neighborhood for a maximum of 6 children (ages 0-13). The host parent is registered with host parent agency ViaViela Zwolle. Almost all areas complied with the act immediately: registration, Certificate of Good Conduct/professional competence, accommodation, and safety and health. There was initially a shortcoming regarding the pedagogical climate: the pedagogical work plan lacked concrete descriptions of the implementation of the agency's policy, group composition, layout of spaces, settling in of new children, and monitoring of child development. Following a recovery offer (deadline 29 September 2026), the host parent submitted an amended work plan in which these points were included. The violation has thereby been remedied. The inspection advises no enforcement action.
