Summary

BSO 't Landje is an after-school care (BSO) in Amsterdam for children aged 7 to 13, located at the adventure playground 't Landje in Rembrandtpark. The team is new and consists of 2 permanent staff members. During the annual inspection on 31 March 2026, a violation was identified in the area of food safety: there was no thermometer in the refrigerator, temperatures were not being logged, and products were not labeled with an opening date. Staff members were not familiar with the agreements regarding this. Following a recovery offer, the violation was terminated. A new refrigerator with a temperature monitoring system has been installed, products are now labeled, and the team has been informed through an interactive game. The indoor space is experienced as cluttered; the location manager is working on a more appealing layout. Strong points are the child participation through the children's council, healthy food, and the engaged, available staff members who provide emotional safety.
