Summary

This follow-up investigation of 14 April 2026 into Right at Home Kinderopvang in Almere was carried out in the context of an operating ban imposed by the municipality on 2 April 2026. The location was required to close as of 9 April 2026 and was given a maximum of 8 weeks to sustainably resolve violations. The provider has remedied some shortcomings, including sufficiently qualified staff, care in one permanent group, information to parents about inspection reports, knowledge of reporting obligations and recruiting parent committee members. However, other shortcomings have been insufficiently resolved: implementation of the pedagogical policy, pedagogically responsible care in practice, the safety and health policy, and alternative parent consultation. The provider acts reactively rather than proactively and lacks structural attention for sustainable recovery. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
