't Hummeltje

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice: staff are sensitive, responsive and respectful in their interactions with children
• Clear structure and routines, including the use of daily schedule cards and songs during transitions
• Purposeful activities with themed offerings (for example, a Sinterklaas boat with dress-up clothes)
• Strong early childhood education with the recognised Piramide digitaal programme and qualified staff
• Sufficient indoor play space (3.5 m² per child) and good staffing levels
• Mentorship is well arranged for all children

Shortcomings

• The outdoor play area could be made more challenging and inspiring with natural materials and play equipment (point of attention from discussion, not a formal improvement requirement)

Summary

Peuterspeelzaal 't Hummeltje in Nijverdal, part of Stichting Peuterspeelzalen Gemeente Hellendoorn, was inspected by GGD Twente on 17 November 2025. The location provides early childhood education to a maximum of 16 children aged 2 to 4 years in a space at De Wingerd primary school. All assessed requirements are being met. The pedagogical practice scores well: staff are sensitive, respectful and effectively stimulate children's development. The Piramide digitaal programme is used and fixed routines provide structure. The premises meet the requirements, although the outdoor space could be made somewhat more challenging. No violations were identified and no improvement requirements were imposed.
