About this care
BSO de Boerderij is located at Oosterstraat 66 in Stadskanaal. We provide after-school care for 60 children aged 4 to 12. Our centre has three age-based groups: De Hooizolder (4-6 years), De Deel (5-8 years) and De Hilt (7-11 years). Qualified staff collect children daily from nearby schools.
Our large outdoor area is the heart of BSO. Children can play football, swing, build dens or cook together in the outdoor kitchen. We use fresh vegetables and fruit from our own garden and our chickens provide fresh eggs every day. Animals are important to us: children learn to care for rabbits, chickens and our two friendly goats.
Our approach is inspired by Emmi Pikler and Reggio Emilia. We provide structure and safety through fixed group arrangements and clear agreements. At the same time, we give children space to contribute their own ideas. During holidays we organise a festive programme with nature excursions, craft projects and sports challenges. Together with the children, we come up with new activities every holiday.
We believe personal attention is important. Our qualified childcare staff are ready to listen and think along. BSO de Boerderij is a place where children can be themselves and enjoy playing after a busy school day.Read more

Summary
BSO de Boerderij in Stadskanaal was inspected on 28 January 2026 by GGD Groningen. This was an annual inspection of a Christian after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 30 children. The location meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate and staff and groups. One violation was identified in the area of safety and health: three staff members did not hold a valid first aid certificate during the care period. Following a recovery offer, the holder submitted new certificates, resolving the shortcoming. One point of attention concerns the use of soap bars rather than liquid soap. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
