Summary

Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Yellowbellies Oudewater Noord was inspected unannounced on 28 August 2025 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Utrecht region. The location accommodates a maximum of 53 children in 4 groups aged 0-4 years. The pedagogical policy, personnel matters, parent involvement and domestic violence reporting protocol meet statutory requirements. The safety and health policy initially did not comply: the emergency card lacked concrete procedures for evacuation (use of evacuation cot/rope, emergency bag, child count, role of office/emergency response officer). Following a recovery offer, the policy has been supplemented and is now consistent with practice. No enforcement advice has been issued to the municipality.
