Safety and hygiene form Milk&Cookies’ basic settled conditions, where no exceptions are made. Whenever you bring your child to Milk&Cookies in the morning, you have to be able to rest assured that we can guarantee his/her safety in every aspect. Our point of departure is formed by the legal rules concerning the entire childcare sector. All aspects of childcare are frequently checked by independent institutions such as the Childcare Supervisory section of the Gemeentelijke Gezondheidsdienst (municipal medical and health service), the fire brigade and the Voedsel en Waren Autoriteit (food and consumer product safety authority). These checks can occur both with and without notification. You can at all times inspect these findings at Milk&Cookies.
We also carry out an annual risk-inventory concerning safety and hygiene. The subsequent observed issues for improvement will be recorded in an action plan and provided with a time schedule. The results of this risk-inventory can at all times be inspected by the parents and will also be discussed with the parents' committee.
The interior of all the rooms is completely adjusted to the children’s safety. During the day, the rooms are kept clean by the educational staff member assistant. Thus, every day, your child plays in a clean room, and with playing materials that satisfy all the requirements of good quality toys.
Safety also means: no strangers inside the premises. To make sure that Milk&Cookies is solely accessible for parents and staff members, we make use of an entrance control by means of a personal badge. If a stranger rings at our door, a staff member will always personally speak to him or her at the front door, instead of letting him or her in unseen with the intercom.
