Summary

GGD Zeeland conducted an inspection on 4 September 2026 at childminder (gastouder) Vierthaler at Sint Maartenlaan 33 in Vlissingen. This concerned a registration investigation for a new childminder care (gastouderopvang) arrangement with 6 childcare places for children aged 0 to 4 years, affiliated with Childminder Agency (Gastouderbureau) ViaViela Zeeland. The location meets all legal requirements regarding registration, pedagogical climate, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and qualifications, premises and safety. One violation was identified: the crib was unsafe due to a sagging slatted base and a blanket wrapped through the bars, in violation of the Safe Sleeping policy. This deficiency was rectified immediately on site and the sleeping environment was made safe. The GGD advises the municipality of Vlissingen to include the facility in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang).
