• Staff and groups: all staff members hold the appropriate qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), and language proficiency; staff-to-child ratios are maintained
• Safety and health: the domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is complete and staff members are familiar with the procedure
• Stable care with a fixed mentor for each child

Violations

• The pedagogical policy plan did not contain a concrete description of the working method, maximum size, and age composition of the base groups; on Thursdays, all children aged 4-13 were placed in one base group without this being described in the policy

Summary

Atalenta BSO Pionier in Valkenswaard is an after-school care facility (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13, located in primary school De Dorenhagen. During the annual inspection on 27 August 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) found that the location complies with legislation and regulations in the areas of pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. There was one violation: the pedagogical policy plan did not contain a concrete description of the working method, size, and age composition of the base groups. On Thursdays, all children (aged 4-13) were placed in one group, which was not explicitly stated in the policy. Following a recovery offer, the provider revised the policy; the violation has been resolved. The GGD advises the municipality not to pursue enforcement.
