• Complaints procedure has been put in place with affiliation to a recognised disputes committee

Summary

Toddler care (peuteropvang) Kindcentrum Visser 't Hooft in Castricum, part of Tabijn opvang B.V., has been inspected for registration. The location provides care for children aged 2 to 4 years in a group room within a school. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) concludes that responsible childcare is expected, allowing operations to commence after municipal approval. An adjustment has been made to the number of childcare places: due to lack of space, 15 places will be registered rather than the requested 16. The pedagogical practice and staff qualifications could not yet be assessed as the childcare is not yet operational; this will follow in a subsequent inspection.
