Shortcomings

• Points for attention in pedagogical practice: alignment with group and daily routine, interaction style of staff members, guidance of intern, and team dynamics

Violations

• The operator fails to ensure sufficient compliance with the safety and health policy: intern changes children without adequate supervision and assurance of hygiene guidelines, damaged changing mat is not cleaned between changes, missing soap in dispenser at children's washbasin, no hand hygiene after toilet use and before meals, intern does not wash hands with soap after changing

Summary

Peuterspeelzaal Olleke Bolleke in Santpoort-Noord was inspected unannounced on 31 March 2026 by GGD Kennemerland. The location provides care for 16 toddlers aged 2 to 4 years and is part of Zoople Velsen B.V. The pedagogical climate and staff and groups meet the quality requirements. Early childhood education is well established, with a clear policy, parental involvement through VVE Thuis, and cooperation with nearby primary schools. However, serious shortcomings were identified in the area of safety and health. Hygiene practice was insufficient: an intern changed children without adequate supervision, a changing mat was damaged and not cleaned, soap was missing at the children's washbasin, and hand hygiene was not carried out structurally. The operator received a recovery offer and has drawn up an action plan with measures for improvement and assurance. The recovery cannot yet be fully assessed, but the actions taken make enforcement unnecessary at this time.
