Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Rotterdam-Rijnmond conducted an annual inspection on 11 February 2026 at after-school care (BSO) De Fontein in Ridderkerk. This after-school care accommodates 40 children (ages 4-6) in two groups and is part of Kinderopvang SKR B.V. Most quality requirements were assessed as sufficient, including pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, staff-to-child ratio, and information provision to parents. One violation was identified: the pedagogical policy contained insufficient concrete description of how children can become accustomed to a new base group. The provider made use of the recovery offer and submitted an adjusted work plan, after which the requirement was met. It was also noted that first aid materials were limited and outdated; this was remedied immediately after telephone feedback. The pedagogical practice demonstrated sensitive guidance, good conflict resolution, and a relaxed atmosphere in which children developed independence.
