Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the childminder/host parent care (gastouderopvang) of Tamara Bal in Emmeloord on 13 May 2025. This was an unannounced annual inspection with six children present. The childminder provides creative after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4-13, affiliated with GOB Ridder Roeland and GOB Samen. Overall, the care is assessed as responsible, with a good pedagogical climate and sufficient expertise. Two points of attention were identified in the risk assessment: the swimming pool was not included in the risk assessment despite being used, and the agreement that only one child at a time may use the trampoline was not followed during the inspection. These points do not constitute violations but are areas for improvement. No recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued.
