Inspection and supervision

Regular audits

The RCN Unit SZW can conduct random checks. We then audit whether the information you have provided is correct. To do so, we may come to your childcare location and inspect your (financial) administration. Each childcare location is audited at least once every three years. Sometimes an additional audit is conducted in between, with or without prior notice.

Good administration

Your administration must be organised in such a way that you can immediately provide all the necessary information to the RCN Unit SZW.

If your administration is not in order, you receive a recovery order from the RCN Unit SZW. Has too much money been paid? Then you need to pay it back.
If the RCN Unit SZW suspects that something is wrong with a childcare agreement with a parent we can ask you to contact that parent(s).

Communicate changes

A childcare location is required to immediately report the following changes to the RCN Unit SZW:

• If a childcare agreement with a parent is terminated.
• If you discontinue your childcare location.
• If your permit is revoked.
• If you are caring for a new child. Please notify us of this before the end of the quarter.

Received too much or less compensation?

We will then settle this with your next application. This is how it works:

• You receive a decision stating how much you need to repay or receive back. If you disagree, you can file an objection.
• The decision also states when the amount will be settled. If you have to pay, please do so on time to avoid a reminder, additional costs or a bailiff.
• Are you unable to pay the full amount, or not all at once? Then please contact the RCN Unit SZW as soon as possible. A payment arrangement may be possible.

Fine in case of violations

If you deliberately break the rules, or if there is a serious error, the RCN Unit SZW can impose a fine.
