GGD Inspection

Violations

Inspection date: November 6, 2025

Strengths

Shortcomings

Violations

The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) does not meet all assessed requirements. Violations have been identified in the areas of staff qualifications, early education (VE) policy, and PRK registration. The pedagogical practice is, however, sound.

Strengths

Pedagogical practice is sound, with attentive and responsive staff
Staff provide emotional security and structure
Working according to the Startblokken early education programme
Safety and health policy is up to date and adhered to
Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is in order
Parent committee has recently been formed and meets requirements

Shortcomings

The pedagogical policy plan must describe more concretely how the 960 hours of early education (VE) will be realised
Clarify the description of room layout and materials in the policy plan
The training plan must more specifically name substantive early education topics
Website must contain more up-to-date information about the toddler/preschool group
Medication declaration should be completed as standard when medication is used

Violations

Staff member in toddler/preschool group does not hold the required early education qualification
Required staff-to-children ratio for early education not met in toddler/preschool group
Pedagogical policy plan insufficiently describes room layout and materials for early education
Pedagogical policy plan insufficiently describes the 960-hour early education offer
Hours calculation for early education pedagogical policy staff member 2025 not submitted
Primary school teacher not registered in PRK in time, resulting in no continuous screening taking place (rectified during investigation)
Toddler/preschool group does not form a stable group due to combination with primary school kindergartners (municipal pilot, no enforcement advised)

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Flevoland of KDV Humpie Dumpie 'de Berenstad' in Almere shows that the location does not meet all requirements. The childcare, located in primary school De Driemaster with 24 childcare places, provides early education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) through two groups. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff are attentive, provide emotional security, and work with the Startblokken programme. However, multiple violations have been identified in the areas of early education and personnel matters. A staff member in the toddler/preschool group does not hold the required early education qualification, which also means the statutory staff-to-children ratio is not met. The pedagogical policy plan lacks concrete descriptions of room layout, materials, and the 960-hour offer. The hours calculation for the pedagogical policy staff member for 2025 is also missing. Furthermore, a teacher from the primary school was not registered in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK) in time, meaning no continuous screening took place. This shortcoming has since been rectified. The combination of toddlers and kindergartners in one group technically constitutes a violation, but falls under a municipal pilot for which no enforcement is advised.
