Violations

• The ratio between the number of early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) staff and the actual number of children present was incorrect: on 22 January 2026, 9 children were present with only 1 fully VE-qualified staff member (requirement: 1 per 8 children)
• An early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) staff member could not demonstrably meet level 3F in the components of Oral Language Proficiency and Reading

Summary

Peuterleerplek Repelsteeltje in Den Haag was inspected on 26 January 2026. The location provides early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE) for up to 14 children aged 2.5–4 years using the Piramide programme. The pedagogical practice meets requirements well: children feel emotionally secure and are consciously stimulated in their language development and self-reliance. However, three violations were identified in the area of early childhood education. Two violations concerned a staff member not meeting the 3F language requirement and, consequently, an incorrect staff-child ratio on 22 January 2026. The third violation concerned an incomplete training plan. The provider made use of the recovery offer (herstelaanbod) and subsequently supplemented the training plan. The remaining two violations were also corrected by the provider: the staff member has since obtained the missing 3F certificate. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement in accordance with the municipal enforcement policy.
