Partou KDV IKC Valeo

Strengths

• Stable team with no vacancies; most staff members have worked for Partou for many years
• Sufficient qualified staff and pedagogical coaches
• Good safety and health policy with location-specific risk assessment
• Sufficient indoor and outdoor space for the number of childcare places
• Active parent committee involved in the planned relocation
• Mentor system where each child has a fixed staff member as their point of contact
• Regular consultation with the primary school as part of the Integrated Child Center (IKC)

Shortcomings

• Pedagogical documentation is too general due to use of click-through links to the Partou website; more location-specific information is desirable
• Complaints procedure is not easily found on the website

Summary

GGD Kennemerland conducted a registration inspection on 30 June 2026 at Partou KDV IKC Valeo in Haarlem, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 30 children aged 2 to 4 years. The location is part of an Integrated Child Center (IKC) with a primary school and after-school care (BSO), and is temporarily housed in the Don Bosco school. The inspection shows that the location will reasonably meet the quality requirements. No violations were identified. However, one area for improvement was noted: the pedagogical documentation contains general information via click-through links to the Partou website, which comes at the expense of location-specific descriptions. The complaints procedure is also difficult to find on the website. The location has a stable team with no vacancies and sufficient qualified staff. The spaces meet the requirements, although the final furnishing work will be completed during the summer holiday. The GGD advises the municipality to include the location in the National Childcare Register from 17 August 2026.
