Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Schip a Hoi in Appingedam was inspected by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Groningen on 7 May 2026. The location provides daycare for 27 children in a listed building with two baby and toddler groups. Overall, the childcare meets the statutory quality requirements. One violation was identified: there was no written overview of how the pedagogical policy worker's coaching hours were distributed across different locations. The provider received a recovery offer for this and the shortfall has since been resolved. The pedagogical practice shows strong points: staff respond sensitively to children, provide emotional security and stimulate social skills. Parents are well informed via a parent portal and newsletters. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
