Bixo Kinderopvang Apeldoorn De Diamant Het Kristal (BSO)

Strengths

• Pedagogical climate meets all requirements: sensitive and responsive guidance of children
• Staff hold the correct qualifications, Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and IKK language proficiency requirement; staff-to-child ratio is ensured
• Parent communication is well arranged through multiple channels
• Knowledge of reporting code and MOA successfully restored following recovery offer
• Children are playfully challenged in their development with varied activities

Shortcomings

• Better adapt the space to the 4-12 age group rather than using toddler furniture
• Improve overview and calm in the group room by reducing (school) materials
• Continue monitoring accessibility of emergency bag and space
• Ongoing assurance of agreements with school regarding storage of personal belongings

Violations

• Safety and health: failure to act in accordance with policy — personal belongings (bags, coats) of school staff were not stored out of reach of children; following recovery offer on 1 June 2026 this problem persisted with new bags visible in the room
• Accommodation: indoor spaces not safely, accessibly and appropriately arranged — room was cluttered with many school materials, toddler furniture unsuitable for target group 4-12 years, emergency bag not accessible; partially improved following recovery offer but insufficient recovery, furniture remained unsuitable and accessibility remains a concern

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 30 March 2026 concerns BSO Bixo Kinderopvang Apeldoorn De Diamant Het Kristal, an after-school care (BSO) for 22 children (4-12 years) at primary school De Diamant. The inspection shows a mixed picture: the pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and parental rights meet statutory requirements. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively with sensitive guidance and challenging activities. However, there are shortcomings in the areas of safety and health and accommodation. Personal belongings of school staff were not stored out of reach of children, contrary to the safety policy. The indoor space was also unclear, cluttered and not appropriately arranged for the age group, with toddler furniture and an inaccessible emergency bag. Following the recovery offer, the emergency bag was moved and the space somewhat tidied, but the furniture remained unsuitable and accessibility remains problematic. Knowledge of the reporting code and MOA was successfully restored. The GGD advises enforcement.
