Summary

PO Baloe Dorpsstraat is a toddler daycare in Wormer for up to 16 children aged 2 to 4 years, part of Kinderopvang Baloe B.V. The annual unannounced inspection by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) showed that the location generally functions well. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff are sensitive, provide structure, and playfully stimulate children's development. Staff and groups as well as the accommodation also meet the requirements. One violation was identified in the area of early childhood education: the policy insufficiently described in concrete terms the connection between early childhood education and the transition to primary school. The holder made use of the recovery offer, and the shortcoming has since been resolved. The GGD advises the municipality not to apply enforcement.
