In recent weeks, GGD GHOR Nederland toured the country. During eight meetings, they explained the supervision of the new quality requirements for childcare organisations in 2019 and 2023. Among other things, they discussed the initial experiences with supervision of the BKR and the pedagogical policy officer.
All childcare organisations were invited to these meetings by letter. Attendance was high: more than 1,500 people came to Assen, Duiven, Nieuwegein, Roosendaal, Alkmaar, Dordrecht and Roermond.
Due to the overwhelming attendance and numerous requests for additional meetings, GGD GHOR is organising additional meetings in June. If you would like to know in advance what they will be discussing, view their presentation here.

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
