Summary

The Kids Company Veldhoven B.V. is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in a monumental building with 4 core groups for children aged 0-4 (60 places in total). The annual inspection of 11 December 2025 shows a predominantly positive picture. The pedagogical practice is experienced as strong: staff act sensitively and responsively, the group rooms are calmly furnished, and children are stimulated in their development through play. Staff are well-trained, including infant-specific training for 0-year-olds, and meet all qualification requirements. Safety and health are also well safeguarded, with an active policy that is evaluated annually. Two violations were identified: the absence of a concrete description of knowledge transfer to school/after-school care (BSO) in the pedagogical policy, and the failure to publish the most recent inspection report on the website. Both violations have since been remedied following a recovery offer. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
