Summary

This inspection report concerns a registration investigation for childminder Schwikart at Lankforst 3309 in Nijmegen, conducted by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Gelderland-Zuid. The childminder wishes to start providing day care, after-school care and pre-school care for a maximum of six children via childminder agency ViaViela. The inspection comprised document review, a site visit and an interview with the childminder and the agency. Pedagogical practice and conduct in the presence of children could not yet be assessed as the childcare has not yet started. The childminder has a suitable qualification, paediatric first aid certificate, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and speaks Dutch. The risk assessment has been drawn up and most safety measures have been implemented; a choice of baby monitor still needs to be made. No violations were identified.
