Summary
The annual inspection of 1 September 2026 of gastouderopvang Spies in Driebergen-Rijsenburg presents a predominantly positive picture. The childminder cares for 4 children aged 1 to 4 years in her home one day per week, arranged through Gastouderbureau Heuvelrug. Nearly all areas met statutory requirements directly: registration, background check/qualifications, spaces, safety and health. Only the pedagogical policy plan initially showed a shortcoming: the description of how children's development is monitored was missing. Following a recovery offer, the childminder supplemented this on 8 September 2026, after which this area was also assessed as satisfactory. The pedagogical practice was observed positively: the childminder provides emotional security, stimulates personal and social skills, and works according to her policy plan. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
