Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Haaglanden on 24 March 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Villa Valentijn in Den Haag shows a predominantly positive picture of the pedagogical practice, but identified four violations that were resolved through a recovery offer. The location provides care for 44 children (0-4 years) in four core groups. The pedagogical practice is sound: staff communicate sensitively, promote social competence and safeguard the four pedagogical basic objectives. Violations were identified in the area of pedagogical policy (missing description of safeguarding emotional safety when regular staff member is absent), stability of care (no regular staff member present in the Roze group), safety and health policy (location manager not familiar with missing child protocol), and parent committee (missing election procedure in regulations). All violations were resolved within the set timeframe. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement in accordance with policy.
