Summary
Kindercentrum Ballon in Voorburg, part of Stichting Vlietkinderen, is a toddler playgroup (peuterspeelzaal) for a maximum of 16 children aged 2-4 years with early childhood education (voorschoolse educatie/VE). The inspection of 4 November 2025 identified two violations. Regarding pedagogical policy, it was found that not all children had a mentor, despite this being described in the policy. Regarding early childhood education, one staff member did not meet the required 3F language proficiency level for reading and staff deployment was not in accordance with the rules (one VE-qualified staff member per eight children). Both violations have been resolved through a recovery offer: the mentor allocation has been corrected and the 3F reading certificate has since been obtained. A third violation concerned parental rights: for a price change, parents were not actively asked for advice, whilst there is no parent committee. The location otherwise meets all other quality requirements, including safety, health, and complaints handling.
