Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Drenthe of BSO Bij ons buiten in Emmen, conducted on 2 March 2026, presents a predominantly positive picture. The after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 25 children (ages 4-13) meets all assessed quality requirements: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. The pedagogical practice is characterized by warm interactions, emotional safety, and clear boundaries. One point of attention was identified: children's arrival and departure times are not recorded separately, which is important for safeguarding staff-to-child ratios. This is not a violation but an improvement point for future inspections. The location has remained complaint-free over the past year.
