Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 17 February 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Pluizenbolletje at Comeniusstraat 507 in Amsterdam presents a mixed picture. The location, part of Pluizenbolletje B.V., provides care for a maximum of 10 children aged 0 to 4 years in one fixed group. Although the pedagogical practice is generally sound and staff interact sensitively with children, multiple violations were identified in the areas of pedagogical policy, safety and health policy, and their implementation. The most significant violation concerned the placement of 3 children at two different locations, which conflicts with the centre's own policy on emotional safety and stability. There were also shortcomings in the implementation of the safety and health policy, including unsafe sleeping (baby in stroller), incorrect hand hygiene, and improper handling of breast milk. Following a recovery offer, the operator has resolved all violations. Policy has been tightened, protocols have been updated, and staff have been instructed. At the second visit on 24 March 2026, it was found that all children have been placed at one location and the safety and health policy is being correctly implemented.
