Summary
This inspection report concerns a registration investigation for childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) Wierdsma in Alkmaar, conducted by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Hollands Noorden. The childminder, Amy Roolvink Wierdsma, provides care through childminder agency Pollewop in a single-family home with its own outdoor space. The childcare is intended for a maximum of 6 children on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 08:00 to 17:30. During the inspection visit, all assessed conditions were evaluated. There were two notable findings regarding the risk assessment for safety and health: the present carbon monoxide detector was not listed in the risk assessment, and incorrect measures were included for the use of a stroller that the childminder would not use. The childminder amended these documents during the draft phase and subsequently met the requirements. All other conditions were found to be satisfactory immediately.
