Summary

Partou KDV Houtwal 2 in Veldhoven, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for children aged 0 to 4 years, was inspected on 22 January 2026 by GGD Brabant-Zuidoost (Municipal Health Service). The location provides care in seven core groups with a total of 103 childcare places and operates according to a combination of its own pedagogical vision and that of Emmi Pikler. The vast majority of quality requirements were met. One violation was identified: the pedagogical policy plan did not contain a concrete description of tasks and supervision of interns, volunteers and staff in training. The holder made use of the recovery offer and submitted a revised location guide on 12 February 2026. With this, the location now meets all requirements. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: children show wellbeing, staff respond sensitively and responsively, and the atmosphere is relaxed and stimulating. Staffing and groups met all requirements, including Certificates of Conduct (VOG), qualification requirements, language requirements and staff-child ratios.
