Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 29 June 2026 concerns the initial registration of host parent (gastouder) Machteld Petronella van Wijngaarden at Laageinde 35 in Geldermalsen. The location provides day care through host parent agency (gastouderbureau) Elzenkring Kinderopvang CV for a maximum of 5 childcare places. The host parent and location meet all requirements for registration in the National Childcare Register.
