About this care
Welcome to Babino BSO De Caleidoscoop, located at Hammarskjöldstraat 230 in Hoofddorp. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 13 in a homely and stimulating environment. Our BSO is part of an integrated child centre (IKC) together with primary school De Caleidoscoop. This means we work closely with the school based on one vision, one team and one plan. Children can seamlessly transition from daycare to primary school and then to our after-school care, already familiar with the location and our dedicated pedagogical staff.
Our after-school care consists of one base group called 'De Duikers', accommodating up to 20 children. The space is arranged with various challenging corners, such as a home corner and construction area. There is ample material available for creative activities as well as for playing games together. In the hallway, children can retreat or engage in free play. For sports activities, we use the school gymnasium and enjoy outdoor play on the spacious school playground.
Each day we offer an activity tailored to the children's interests, such as cooking lunch, sports and games, creative activities, and regular outings to places like the forest, a playground or bowling alley. During school holidays, we create an exciting and varied activity programme, including one or more excursions. Additionally, there is always plenty of space to simply relax and do your own thing, as after-school time is also children's free time.
Our opening hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7.00 am to 6.30 pm. With sufficient enrolment, we are also open on Wednesday and Friday. We work with a dedicated team of pedagogical staff who know the children and parents well, creating a safe, warm environment where every child feels at home.Read more

- Check and clean toilets before care begins, refill soap
- Include risks of hot oven in hallway in safety plan

Violations
- Pedagogical policy insufficiently specific regarding tasks and supervision of work-study learners (BBL'ers)
- Work-study learner (BBL'er) deployed at 50% before competency scan was completed and agreement not fully signed

Summary
Babino Kinderopvang de Caleidoscoop (after-school care/BSO) in Hoofddorp provides care for up to 20 children aged 4-12. The inspection on 2 June 2025 found that the location does not meet quality requirements in several areas: the pedagogical policy insufficiently describes the tasks and supervision of staff in training; the deployment of a work-study learner (BBL'er) does not follow agreed procedures (competency scan completed later); and the safety and health policy inadequately safeguards hygiene and safety (dirty toilets, missing soap, hot oven without risk description). Strengths include the team's pedagogical approach (children receive emotional support, freedom of choice, and clear rules) and the stable group structure with dedicated mentors. No parent committee is active. The municipality has been advised to enforce.
