Pedagogical practice leads to responsible childcare
Certificates of conduct (VOG) and personnel records are in order
Risk assessment for safety and health is adequate
Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol meets requirements
Complaints procedure is well arranged
Administration is complete and well-organized

Shortcomings

The pedagogical policy plan is not up to date (dates from 2021, still refers to old LRKP terminology) and must be revised before 1 July 2026
The holder must continue to make efforts to establish a parent committee, despite the formal obligation not applying with more than 50 childminders

Violations

Staffing per childminder: the holder could not demonstrate that each childminder receives at least 16 hours of guidance and mediation annually, even though this was already identified during the previous inspection in 2024
Parent rights information: the option to submit disputes to a disputes committee was not included in the internal complaints procedure
Quality criteria: annual progress meetings with childminders did not take place within 12 calendar months, in one case not since 2023
