Summary

RDV Kids Drakenrijk B.V. in Spijkenisse, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0-4, was inspected on 27 May 2026 in connection with an application to expand the number of childcare places from 53 to 61. The inspection focused on pedagogical policy, safety and health policy, and space requirements. The location meets all assessed quality requirements. The space calculation shows sufficient indoor and outdoor space for the expansion. Several points for attention were identified: the distribution of attention and supervision by staff members is not clearly described in the pedagogical policy, and the emotional safety when the hallway is used as a passageway is insufficiently described. The operator has committed to amending the policy. No violations were established. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to grant the amendment.
