About this care
Welcome to BSO Avonturijn at Verwoldseweg 12b in Laren!
We provide out-of-school care for children aged 4 to 12, offering before-school, after-school and holiday care on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Our building is located right next to De Branink and Prins Willem Alexander primary schools, so we can safely walk or cycle the children to and from school—sometimes with our cargo bike, BSO minibus or car—at no extra cost to parents.
BSO Avonturijn Laren is organised into three horizontal groups: Landhuis, Koetshuis and Boshuis. Each group has its own atmosphere, but everywhere the motto is: be outside, get dirty and explore. Our large, green schoolyard—complete with climbing frames, a football pitch, sandpit and table-tennis table—is our outdoor classroom. Indoors you will find Kapla blocks, an arts-and-crafts corner with easels and materials, a kitchen for joint cooking or baking sessions, games, books and much more. This variety lets every child choose what they need that day: join an activity, quietly read a book or simply relax with friends.
After school we start with fruit and a drink while we discuss the afternoon’s activities. Our programme is varied and often themed: sports and games, nature and forest activities, cooking, crafts and creative projects. During school holidays we turn it up a notch with special themed weeks and exciting excursions.
Our team of enthusiastic, qualified pedagogical staff looks forward every day to discovering new things together with the children. Together we create a safe, familiar environment where children can develop through play-based learning. We can’t wait to welcome your child to our adventurous location in Laren!Read more

Summary
BSO Avonturijn in Laren provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 60 children aged 4–12. During the unannounced inspection visit on 6 March 2025, the location was found to meet all statutory requirements in the areas of Pedagogical Climate and Staff & Groups: the pedagogical policy is clear and adhered to, staff are qualified and properly registered, and occupancy ratios are in order. However, two violations were identified. Under Safety & Health: children were permitted to retrieve a ball from the main road themselves, whereas policy stipulates that an adult must do so. Under Accommodation: the temporary playground (due to construction work) is insufficiently safe; the fencing is partially absent and the football pitch poses an injury risk. The municipality is in consultation regarding improvement. No recovery offer has been imposed; the inspection advises the municipality to take enforcement action.
