Summary

Dijkhuis de Leeuw is a childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) location in De Wilgen that was inspected on 16 March 2026 by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Fryslân for registration in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang). The care is arranged through Gastouderbureau Spring and accommodates a maximum of 6 children. The inspection was carried out in accordance with the municipality of Smallingerland's 'Strict at the Gate' (Streng aan de Poort) policy. The childminder meets all assessed quality requirements: registration, pedagogical climate, professional competence (diploma and valid first aid certificate until October 2026), accommodation, safety and health. No children were present during the visit, so the pedagogical policy could not be observed in practice. The sleeping area could not be assessed as it is not currently in use. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The childminder agency has agreed to the report without submitting any comments.
