Summary

BSO Struin Lent, an after-school care (BSO) for 58 children (ages 4-12) in Lent, was inspected on 8 July 2026 by GGD Gelderland-Zuid (Municipal Health Service). The location, part of Stichting Humankind, offers nature-oriented care and uses a shelter location during extreme weather. The inspection concerned an annual review of pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, staff and groups. All inspected quality requirements have been met. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: there is a relaxed atmosphere, children are addressed by name, and there is attention for emotional safety and personal development. The staff-to-child ratio is in order, all staff members have the correct qualifications and Certificate of Conduct (VOG), and the mentorship system is well organised. The advice to the municipality of Nijmegen is: no enforcement action.
