Summary

GGD Fryslân conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 18 March 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Berneplak de Lytse Sinnestrieltsjes in Nieuwehorne. The small-scale facility (maximum 26 children, ages 4-13) complies with legislation and regulations in most areas. The pedagogical climate, staff qualifications, and safety policy are in order. However, violations were identified regarding the parent committee and complaints procedure. The parent committee regulations incorrectly contained rules about working methods, lacked advisory rights on early childhood education, and had an incorrect amendment procedure. The complaints procedure was not accessible to parents in an appropriate manner. Both violations were resolved within the deadline through a recovery offer. The GGD advises the municipality of Heerenveen not to take enforcement measures.
