Summary

The annual inspection of 28 September 2026 of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Villa De Kinderlantaarn in Lelystad shows that the location meets most assessed requirements. The location, situated above indoor play centre Balorig, provides care for 10 children aged 2-13 years. Shortcomings have been identified in the area of pedagogical policy (mentorship and volunteers) and safety and health policy (risks and action plan). Not all staff also meet the baby care training requirements; no babies are therefore currently being cared for. Positive aspects include the improved safeguarding of the four-eyes principle with protocol and camera surveillance, the suitable accommodation and the qualified staff. The location was previously closed due to serious shortcomings and enforcement measures. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement, but does recommend a follow-up inspection in 2027.
