Summary

This Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report concerns an annual investigation conducted on 23 July 2026 at BSO de Pierewaaier Noorderhavenkade in Rotterdam, an after-school care (BSO) for 110 children aged 7 to 12 years. The location is part of KindeRdam Kinderopvang B.V. and is temporarily housed due to renovation of the original building. Most quality requirements were found to be in order, including administration, pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, safety policy, and parent information. There was one violation: the pedagogical work plan was missing a description of the policy regarding additional half-day care sessions. The holder made use of the recovery offer and the shortcoming has since been resolved. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
