De Bosuiltjes

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice meets all four basic objectives
• Staff and groups meet legal requirements, including qualified staff-child ratios
• Safety and health policy is concrete and adhered to
• Parental rights: information and complaints procedures are well arranged
• Qualified staff (beroepskrachten) are VE-qualified and have level 3F language proficiency

Shortcomings

• Early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie): concrete description of 960-hour programme must be supplemented with practical implementation for mixed-age groups
• Training plan must more specifically describe how VE knowledge and skills are maintained

Violations

• The pedagogical policy plan does not describe in concrete and verifiable terms how the 960-hour early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie) programme is structured (Article 1.50b Childcare Act)
• The early childhood education training plan is incomplete; it does not specify how staff knowledge and skills are maintained (Articles 1.50b and 1.60c Childcare Act)

Summary

Daycare center/after-school care (KDV/BSO) De Bosuiltjes in Nieuwolda was inspected on 19 March 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Groningen. The location provides childcare for children aged 0 to 13 in a mixed-age group of up to 16 children with subsidised early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie). The pedagogical practice, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights meet legal requirements. Two violations were identified in the area of early childhood education: the absence of a concrete description of the 960-hour programme and an incomplete training plan. The provider objected via a statement of views. The GGD corrected two findings upon review, but the violations regarding the 960 hours and the training plan remain. A recovery offer was made. The GGD advises enforcement.
