Lemmens Berkelder

Strengths

• The childminder is experienced and has been registered in the LRK since 2015
• Sufficient play and sleeping space, including a separate sleeping area for children under 18 months

• A risk assessment and action plan have been drawn up and are largely implemented

Shortcomings

• The pedagogical policy is not yet complete: the description of the layout of indoor and outdoor play areas and play materials is still missing and must be added before starting

• The low window in the sleeping/play area for older children must be discussed with the childminder agency for inclusion in the risk assessment

Summary

This inspection report concerns a registration investigation for a new childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) location of Linda Lemmens-Berkelder at Stijn Buysstraat 18 in Nijmegen. The childminder, who has already been registered at other addresses since 2015, intends to provide care for a maximum of six children from 1 October 2026. The inspection took place on 6 July 2026. The location generally complies with legal requirements, with several points of attention that must be resolved before childcare begins. No violations were identified that required a recovery offer.
