Summary

On 23 March 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an annual inspection at IKC de Brink voorschool in Amsterdam, a preschool education location with 16 places for children aged 2.5 to 4 years. The location is part of Zonova opvang & onderwijs and works closely with De Brink primary school.

Staff adequately stimulate independence and social skills. The Piramide early education programme is implemented correctly, with a rich thematic learning environment and good parent involvement. There is continuity with the primary school through shared themes, a combined position and structural consultation. All statutory quality requirements are being met, including staff qualifications, group size and the offer of 960 hours of preschool education. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
