About this care
Welcome to BSO Odysseestraat, a location of RIANT childcare in Almere. Our after-school care is located in a charming West Frisian farmhouse at Odysseestraat 51. In this homely environment, we provide care for children aged 4 to 7 who attend primary school.
At BSO Odysseestraat, we believe that children develop best through play and discovery. Therefore, we offer a wide range of activities that connect with young children's world of experience. Our activities vary from cooking and baking, theater and dance to sports challenges and outdoor activities. We also regularly organize fun excursions and during holidays there is a special summer camp program.
Our location features a spacious garden where children can play and explore to their heart's content. The farmhouse setting provides a unique environment that invites imaginative play and creative expression. We work with small groups, ensuring plenty of personal attention for each child.
Our pedagogical staff are professionally trained and ready to give your child a safe and challenging afternoon. We work closely with parents and primary schools in the area to optimally tailor the care to your child's needs.
BSO Odysseestraat is officially registered in the National Childcare Register and offers space for up to 70 children. We are open on weekdays after school and during school holidays.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 14 January 2026 at after-school care (BSO) RIANT Odysseestraat in Almere shows that the location meets all assessed requirements. The unannounced annual investigation included document review, site visit, and interviews with staff. The BSO accommodates up to 52 children aged 4-12 in four base groups. The pedagogical climate was assessed as positive: children's wellbeing is good and professionals work in accordance with the established policy. Several points for attention were identified regarding ventilation (dirty grilles and mechanical exhaust covers), hand hygiene (no paper towels available at time of inspection), and the cleaning schedule. These were immediately addressed by the provider and incorporated into the cleaning schedule. A recovery offer was issued for the ventilation points, to which the location responded adequately. All staff hold the required Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and PRK registration. The parent committee is well-organised and parents are adequately informed.
