Summary

This inspection report concerns an investigation for registration of childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Spliethof in Arnhem. The childminder, Marie Louise Spliethof, is affiliated with childminder agency ViaViela and provides care at her home address on Fridays. Six childcare places have been requested, but the childminder intends to care for one child aged 0-4: her grandson. The inspection took place on 27 July 2026 and included document review, a site visit, and an interview with the childminder. All examined areas meet the statutory requirements. One action point was identified: the risk assessment incorrectly states that there are no pets present, whereas the childminder has a dog. The childminder must correct this before the start of childcare. The childminder waived the right of hearing procedure.
