• Parents can be informed more explicitly about the measures regarding the two-eyes principle (vierogenprincipe)

Violations

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Amsterdam at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) 't Zonnehoekje in Amsterdam shows a predominantly positive picture. The pedagogical quality is good: staff members are engaged, sensitive, and attentive in their guidance of children. One violation was identified regarding the deployment of a staff member in training (bbl), because the supervision plan was incomplete and written consent from the school was missing. Following a recovery offer, this violation was resolved: an adjusted plan was submitted with increasing deployability, supervision, and signatures. The two-eyes principle (vierogenprincipe) for opening and closing the location does not fully align with policy; the pedagogical work plan is being adjusted. The accommodation meets the requirements. The advice to the municipality is to impose no measures.
