• The premises offer sufficient indoor and outdoor play space
• Parent committee and complaints procedure are well arranged

Summary

This inspection report concerns Royal Kids Home Tuinstraat KDV in Krimpen aan den IJssel, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for 15 children aged 0 to 4 years. The unannounced inspection on 14 April 2026 showed that the location meets legal requirements on virtually all aspects. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: childcare workers communicate sensitively with children, guide their social interactions, and provide emotional security. Staff and groups, premises, and parental rights were also in order. There was one violation in the area of safety and health: the changing table lacked a water connection for hand hygiene after nappy changing, meaning staff had to wash their hands at the same tap used for bottle feeding. This was inconsistent with the hygiene protocol. The operator received a recovery offer and connected the water within the deadline, after which the violation was resolved. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement.
