Summary

BSO Bos en Lommer 2, an after-school care (BSO) in Amsterdam with 20 places for children aged 4 to 12, was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 15 January 2026. The location, part of Stichting Impuls, opened on 27 October 2025. The pedagogical climate was assessed positively: staff members show respectful interactions, encourage independence, and provide emotional safety. However, three violations were identified: no mentorship assigned to children, insufficient knowledge of the child abuse reporting code, and unfamiliarity with the obligation to report, consult, and file formal complaints when suspecting misconduct by colleagues or managers. All violations were terminated following a recovery offer. The GGD advises against imposing enforcement measures.
