Summary

Unikidz ParkHoek is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam with two groups: a vertical group for ages 0-4 (max. 12 children) and a toddler group for ages 2-4 (max. 16 children). The annual inspection took place on 28 August 2025. The inspection concludes that all inspected quality requirements are met. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: children experience emotional security, staff work responsively and stimulate social and personal development. The pedagogical policy is clear and actively implemented. All staff hold the required diplomas, certificates of conduct (verklaringen omtrent het gedrag), and meet the IKK language requirement. The staff-to-child ratio is in order, although for a maximum of 3 hours per day the location operates with fewer staff (at least 50% of the required number). Each child has a mentor and parents are well informed. The safety and health policy is in order, including first aid (EHBO) diplomas and knowledge of the domestic violence reporting code (meldcode huiselijk geweld). No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
