Summary

Peuteropvang de Koolmeesjes in Capelle aan den IJssel was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on January 19, 2026. This was an annual inspection of this toddler care location with 16 childcare places for children aged 2 to 4 years, located in primary school De Horizon. The location provides early childhood education according to the Uk & Puk method. All inspected quality requirements were found to be in order: pedagogical policy, early childhood education, deployment of pedagogical policy staff, declarations of conduct, safety and health policy, and space requirements. One remark was made regarding the accommodation: the location is registered for 16 childcare places but currently has sufficient space for only 14 children because a corner has been partitioned off for after-school care (BSO). The provider has indicated that this will be resolved by furnishing the entire space for both toddlers and BSO, making the space suitable again for 16 children. No violations were identified and no areas for improvement were found.
