Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 29 June 2026 for daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Kinderopvang Princenpark in Breda reveals a serious and structural picture of non-compliance. The inspection followed reports about the pedagogical conduct of the operator and their partner. Although the pedagogical practice was assessed positively during the visit, the operator and partner were absent. Numerous violations were identified in areas such as pedagogical policy, personnel and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. Shortcomings include an incomplete pedagogical policy plan with contradictions, missing infant training for a staff member, insufficient documentation of formative deployability of a student, no annual coaching for the operator as staff member, an insufficiently concrete safety and health policy, and inadequate information provision to parents. The reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse lacks organization-specific responsibilities and the operator failed to comply with the duty to consult upon signals of possible abuse. Parental trust and the parent committee are functioning, but do not compensate for the structural shortcomings. Given the inspection history and high staff turnover, the circumstances are considered aggravating.
