The interior features light walls and furniture in wood and white tones, creating a calm and warm ambiance. The group is set up based on the needs and interests of the children.

Summary

Kinderdagverblijf (daycare center/KDV) Waterlelie (Flowerkids de Waterlelie BV) in Leiden was inspected unannounced on 28 January 2025. The location provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 0-4 years in one vertical group. The pedagogical climate and personnel policy fully met the requirements. There were two shortcomings: hand hygiene was not consistently applied during nappy changing, and not all employees were familiar with the mandatory reporting, consultation, and disclosure requirements. The organisation took appropriate measures within a few days: additional instruction, a new nappy bin, and an internal newsletter. As a result, both points were resolved and the location was subsequently approved. The municipality is advised not to apply enforcement.
