Summary

Kinderdagverblijf Sterrentuin in Boxtel was inspected on 17 February 2026 by GGD Hart voor Brabant. The daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) provides care for 28 children aged 0 to 4 years in two base groups. Overall, the location meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate and staff and groups. The pedagogical practice is experienced as warm and stimulating, with good individual attention for children. However, one incident was identified where the staff-child ratio (BKR) was not met at the end of the day due to group merging. Because national uncertainty exists about this regulation, the judgment on this matter has been provisionally suspended. No recovery offer was made, but the situation was discussed with the manager.
