Summary

The annual inspection conducted on 4 December 2025 at Partou daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) IKC Het Talent in Amsterdam shows that the childcare location meets all statutory quality requirements. The location provides preschool education (VVE) to 30 children divided across two core groups. The pedagogical practice is positive: children experience emotional safety through structure and predictability, and are encouraged in their independence and social skills. Staff are well-qualified, with appropriate diplomas and early childhood education (VVE) certificates. Two areas for attention have been identified: not all staff members fully know the steps of the domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol (meldcode), and knowledge of mandatory reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations can be improved. The location manager has indicated that action will be taken on this through team meetings and individual conversations. No violations were found and no recovery offer was issued.
