About this care
At Bixo Apeldoorn Prinses Juliana we provide after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13. Our location is on the ground floor of primary school Prinses Juliana at Tullekensmolenweg 77 in Lieren. We work closely with the school, so our opening hours follow the school timetable, holidays and study days and we are open all year round.
We regard the time after school as real free time. Children decide for themselves what they want to do: play outside, quietly read a book or join the organised activity of the day. Every afternoon we offer a challenging activity under the themes Sports & Games, Expression, Cooking & Baking, Arts & Crafts, Science & Technology and Nature. Our Bixo activity boxes, such as the Woodworking box, soapstone box or soap box, also appear regularly. During the holidays we add an extra festive layer with a special theme, for example ‘BixZoo in the Jungle’, ‘Stars & Planets’ or ‘Winter Wonderland’.
We are also the trusted place for before-school care (VSO). Before school starts, relaxation, calm and cosiness are central: having a cup of tea together, playing a game or waking up gently. Our pedagogical staff member personally walks the children to their classroom as soon as school begins.
We work on a small scale: a maximum of 22 children per group. This allows us to truly know every child and create a homely atmosphere. Our experienced pedagogical professionals are ready every day to give children that safe second home. Communication with parents is important to us; our location manager Veerle Sterk is always available for questions or a personal conversation.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: May 7, 2026
Strengths
- Staff and groups meet all legal requirements (diplomas, Certificate of Conduct/VOG, PRK registration, staff-child ratio)
- Accommodation meets space requirements (sufficient indoor and outdoor space)
- Mentorship is well organized for all children
- Pedagogical policy and protocols are formally in place and accessible
- Coaching and policy hours are arranged in accordance with established standards
Violations
- Staff member acts in violation of the pedagogical policy plan: children play throughout the entire school rather than only in assigned spaces, and use school equipment (tablets) without permission
- Insufficient emotional safety and security: unsettled group atmosphere, children are defiant and do not listen, staff member communicates primarily through instructions and control rather than sensitive and responsive contact
- Mealtime does not comply with policy: staff member puts on a video on phone instead of facilitating an interactive group conversation
- Inconsistent boundary setting: no consequences for some violations (tablets), yet time-out for other behavior (bell), resulting in rules not being applied uniformly
- Insufficient stimulation of independence: children are unable to play independently and responsibly within the school
Summary
The annual inspection of 7 May 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Bixo Apeldoorn Prinses Juliana in Lieren reveals serious shortcomings in the area of pedagogical climate. The location, housed in the Prinses Julianaschool, accommodates a maximum of 33 children aged 4–12. Although staff and accommodation are compliant, pedagogical practice is inadequate. Staff do not act in accordance with the established pedagogical policy: children play unsupervised throughout the school, use school tablets without permission, and mealtimes are unsettled with a video on a phone instead of interaction. The group atmosphere is restless, with little responsive communication and inconsistent boundary setting. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
