Summary

On 18 February 2025, GGD Groningen conducted a registration inspection at childminder Jan Hendrik van den Berg in Hoogezand. The care takes place in the living room and open kitchen of the home at Castor 2, with the enclosed garden serving as the outdoor play area. The childminder provides care together with his partner, who has already been working as a registered childminder at the same address for a longer period. A maximum of five children aged 4 to 8 years are cared for. All assessed domains meet the legal requirements: registration, pedagogical climate, requirements for the childminder, accommodation and layout, and safety and health. The childminder holds the required diplomas, a valid first aid certificate, and a Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag). The risk assessment is up-to-date and the domestic violence reporting protocol is known. The pedagogical practice could not be fully assessed as the childminder is not yet caring for children, but the interview showed sufficient knowledge of the pedagogical policy plan. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
