Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond inspected childminder/host parent Hessels at Van Beethovenlaan 121 in Rotterdam for registration in the National Childcare Register. This is a childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) facility with five childcare places at the home address of the requesting parent. Almost all quality requirements were immediately in order, including registration, pedagogical practice, Certificate of Conduct (VOG), professional competence, language of communication, accommodation, and reporting protocol. One violation was identified regarding risk assessment for safety and health: the original assessment insufficiently described the safety risks of the ongoing renovation on the ground floor, and the action plan lacked appropriate measures. Following a recovery offer, the childminder agency drew up a new risk assessment that was approved by the GGD during a second visit on 5 March 2026. The violation has been resolved. The GGD advises the municipality of Rotterdam to register the facility as of 10 March 2026 and not to pursue enforcement.
