KC Zonnebloem

Strengths

• Pedagogical policy and practice meet the required standards
• Good application of the four basic objectives of Riksen-Walraven (emotional security, personal and social competence, values and norms)
• Staff hold the appropriate qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) documents, and language proficiency certificates
• Early childhood education with Uk & Puk 2.0 is well organised, including sufficient hours allocated to the pedagogical policy officer
• Complaints procedure and affiliation with a disputes committee are in order

Violations

• Early childhood education: the pedagogical policy plan still described the old 'Uk en Puk' method, whereas 'Uk en Puk 2.0' has been in use since January 2026; the plan was not up to date (resolved)
• Stability of care: children were placed in two or even three fixed groups without prior written consent from parents, or consent was missing/incomplete (resolved)
• Parent committee: the regulations lacked essential provisions regarding number of members, method of election, and term of office (resolved)

Summary

The annual unannounced inspection of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) KC Zonnebloem in Liessel, part of Spring Kinderopvang, took place on 23 February 2026. The inspection assessed the pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and parental rights. Three items initially failed to meet the quality requirements, for which a recovery offer was made. Following recovery, the location now meets all requirements. The pedagogical climate and pedagogical practice are sound, with good application of the Riksen-Walraven basic objectives. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
