About this care
BSO Bende is a spacious after-school care facility in Horst where children aged 4 to 13 can have a great time. Located at Gasthuisstraat 56, right in the centre of Horst, we are easily accessible for children from various primary schools in the area. BSO Bende is part of Spring Kinderopvang, an organisation with more than 25 years of experience in providing warm, safe and challenging childcare.
At BSO Bende we work with a permanent team of pedagogical staff who create a varied activity programme every afternoon. We offer both rest and structure after a busy school day, as well as plenty of space to move, play and discover new things. Our large hall can be set up flexibly: one day it is filled with a climbing course, the next day there is a creative corner or children can burn off energy in a dance or sports activity.
We also have our own outdoor area where children can play freely or take part in outdoor activities. We work with themes that match the children’s world of experience and encourage them to contribute their own ideas. In this way they learn to make choices, take others into account and discover their interests.
BSO Bende is open on weekdays from 07:30 to 18:30. We pick up children from primary schools in Horst and the surrounding area and ensure they arrive safely with us. Parents can arrange flexible childcare days through Spring Kinderopvang, tailored to their working and school hours. We warmly invite interested families to come for a tour to meet our location and our team.Read more

Summary
BSO Bende at Gasthuisstraat 56 in Horst provides after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4-13. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the location on 7 July 2025. The pedagogical climate is positive: children experience a safe, structured environment with ample choice of activities and engaged staff members. All staff members are qualified and registered. Following a recovery offer, three shortcomings were resolved: the absence of maximum group size and a clear deviation procedure in the policy plan, and insufficient indoor play space (216 m² instead of the required 231 m²). The location has reduced its number of childcare places to 60, thereby meeting the space standard. No violations were identified. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
