Violations

• One pedagogical professional did not hold valid proof of training for early childhood education

Summary

Peuteropvang Robbedoes in Geleen, part of Stichting MIK & Spelenderwijs Kindontwikkeling, was inspected by GGD Zuid-Limburg on 15 June 2026. The location provides care for 32 children aged 2 to 4 years in two core groups and uses the early childhood education programme Speelplezier. The annual inspection showed that the location meets most quality requirements, but two recovery offers were necessary. One staff member lacked a valid early childhood education training certificate, and the safety and health policy was inadequate: children washed their hands in shared water and a hot water tap was not temperature-limited. Both shortcomings were resolved within the set deadline. The advice to the municipality of Sittard-Geleen is: no enforcement action.
