Summary

The GGD annual inspection of 26 November 2025 at toddler daycare PSG 't Beertje in Bellingwolde (part of Stichting Kinderopvang KiWi) presents a mixed picture. The location meets the requirements for safety and health, and the pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff interact with children in a sensitive and responsive manner, and children are playfully challenged in their development. However, multiple shortcomings were identified regarding pedagogical policy (missing description of core group departure and emotional safeguarding), pre-school education (incomplete training plan), deployment of pedagogical policy staff (insufficient accountability of coaching), and parental rights (outdated website, no adequate alternative parent consultation, incomplete complaints procedure and annual complaints report). The holder has submitted a statement of views indicating that all shortcomings will be remedied; new policy documents are expected in March 2026.
