Summary

Welcome Home in Den Haag is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for a maximum of 24 children aged 0-4 years. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) identified one violation in the area of safety and health: there was no specific protocol for the event that a child goes missing. The staff did know how to respond, but this was not documented in writing. Following a recovery offer, the holder subsequently drew up a protocol on 17 June 2026 and distributed it to the staff members. On all other subjects (pedagogical climate, personnel and groups, accommodation), the location is compliant. The advice to the municipality is to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
