Summary

Sim Sim is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Den Haag for 14 toddlers (ages 2–4), located within Yunus Emre primary school. The annual unannounced inspection of 3 November 2025 presents a positive picture. The location provides pre-school education using the Piramide and Speelplezier methods. All statutory quality requirements are met across all inspected domains: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and accommodation. No violations were identified and no areas for improvement were noted. The advice to the municipality is therefore: no enforcement action.
