Summary
Childminder N. van der Velde at Zuiderdwarsvaart 23 in Drachten was inspected on 23 April 2026 by GGD Fryslân for registration in the National Childcare Register. This was a 'Strict at the Gate' investigation commissioned by the municipality of Smallingerland. The childminder meets all assessed inspection items. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The childminder is temporarily using a unit on the property due to renovation of the main residence; the outdoor space is therefore not suitable, but the childminder uses a nearby playground instead. The holder of childminder agency W-care agrees with the report and will not submit a response.
