Summary

The annual inspection of 29 June 2026 of after-school care (BSO) de Levensboom in Amersfoort presents a predominantly positive picture. The location, housed in church community center De Brug, provides care for up to 14 children aged 4 to 12 years, including a group called 'De Schatgravers' for temporarily displaced schoolchildren. In the areas of staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights, the after-school care (BSO) meets standards without issue. The pedagogical climate meets standards following a recovery offer. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: children are stimulated in their development and given room for their own initiative. The staff are well trained and staff-to-child ratios are observed. No complaints have been filed through the internal complaints procedure or the Disputes Committee.
