POV De Earste Trimen

Strengths

• Early childhood education meets all quality requirements
• Staff hold the correct qualifications and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)
• Safety and health policy is up-to-date and complete
• Pedagogical policy officer is deployed correctly
• Violations were resolved within the set timeframe

Violations

• Pedagogical policy: children from age 2 were structurally cared for outside their core group in a toddler/BSO room and on the preschool playground, while the work plan stated that core group activities took place within their own core group
• Number of qualified staff: the holder maintained two separate attendance records and work schedules (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf and toddler care), suggesting that two core groups were being operated rather than one
• Stability of care: children structurally used three rooms (daycare room, toddler/BSO room and preschool playground) instead of a maximum of two core group rooms, and the toddler programme included core group moments such as fruit and lunch
• Room requirements: the core group was structurally split, meaning part of the group was not in the fixed core group room and more than two rooms were used

Summary

POV De Earste Trimen in Nijland, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 16 children (ages 0–4), was inspected on 30 January 2026 by GGD Fryslân (Municipal Health Service). The location also provides early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VVE). Although the location ultimately meets all inspected conditions, four violations were identified relating to a non-permitted working method. Children from age 2 were structurally cared for outside their core group in a toddler/BSO room and on the preschool playground, while the records suggested that two separate groups were being operated. The holder resolved all violations within the set timeframe by rewriting the pedagogical work plan, maintaining one central attendance record, and adjusting the daily schedule. Other areas such as safety policy, staff qualifications and early childhood education met requirements from the outset.
