Summary

Toddler care Zandzoom in Emmen was inspected by GGD Drenthe for registration in the National Childcare Register. The location, part of Kinderopvang Kinderwerk B.V., accommodates a maximum of 16 toddlers aged 2-4 in the Delftlanden neighborhood. It is an early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) facility using the Uk en Puk program. All assessed quality requirements have been met: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. The pedagogical practice and operation in accordance with policy cannot yet be assessed as the location is not yet operational; this will follow at the post-registration inspection. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The parent committee regulations are still missing rules on working methods, but the provider has six months after registration to address this. The GGD advises the municipality of Emmen to include the location in the national register.
