Summary

GGD Fryslân conducted a registration inspection on 23 June 2026 at Vandaag KDV/POV De Arke in Burgum, a new childcare location operated by Vandaag Kinderopvang B.V. with 32 places. The location provides daycare (0-4 years) and toddler care/peuterverblijf (2-4 years) at primary school De Arke. The inspection was carried out under the 'Strict at the Gate' (Streng aan de Poort) framework, meaning the location must meet all quality requirements immediately upon registration. The GGD concludes that the location will reasonably comply with statutory requirements and advises the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel to proceed with registration. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The operator must still submit the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) establishment number once available, and several matters must be assessed after opening, including the actual layout of the spaces and the sleeping area for children under 1.5 years.
