About this care
BSO De Vuurvogel is a warm and homely after-school care facility based on Anthroposophical principles, located in the building of Muziekvereniging Aurora at De Woerd 3a in Driebergen-Rijsenburg. We provide care for children aged 4 to 12, where cosiness, trust, and joyful play are central. Our location is an extension of the home environment, with furnishings and toys made from natural materials that stimulate and inspire children's imagination.
We work with three age groups, ensuring that the activity program perfectly matches the world of experience of each child. Every month, we present a new activity program where children can voluntarily participate in activities such as baking, cooking, crafts, felting, outdoor games, and even violin lessons. Our themes follow the seasons, allowing children to naturally stay connected to the rhythm of the year.
The rhythmic flow of the day, week, and year aligns as much as possible with school, providing children with a familiar structure. We offer space for the individuality of each child and create an environment where they feel safe and secure. As part of the broad Vuurvogelschool, the Free School in Driebergen, we generally care for children from this school, creating a strong connection with the school community.
Our pedagogical staff are ready to guide the children in their free time, where play and relaxation go hand in hand with small-scale, meaningful activities. We believe in the power of simplicity and naturalness, both in our materials and in our approach to the child.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: June 15, 2026
Strengths
- The provider makes efforts to inform parents about the parent committee via newsletters
- A 'Parent Participation Policy Without Parent Committee' has been drawn up
- The provider involves parents in policy matters through an advisory request form
Shortcomings
- Ensure information materials about the parent committee are available at the location
- Make website information specific per location rather than general
- Ensure the email address for the parent committee actually functions and is responded to
- Increase awareness and involvement of staff in stimulating parent participation
- Include the parent committee structurally in the intake procedure
- Ensure active recruitment of parent committee members
Violations
- No parent committee established while more than 50 children are placed (art. 1.46 para. 2, 1.58 para. 2 and 1.59 para. 1 Childcare Act)
- Parents are insufficiently involved in policy matters in another manner (art. 1.58 para. 2 and 3 and 1.60 para. 1 Childcare Act)

Summary
BSO De Vuurvogel in Driebergen-Rijsenburg is an after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 12 with 55 places. The unannounced follow-up inspection on 15 June 2026 shows that the location is non-compliant on two points: cooperation with and compliance of an official order, and the absence of a mandatory parent committee. This is a recurring problem; previous inspections in 2024 and 2026 also found no parent committee. The provider has drawn up a policy for parent participation without a parent committee, but its implementation is insufficient. Information materials were not available, staff show too little involvement, and the website contains incorrect information. The municipality had issued an order on 19 March 2026 that was insufficiently followed. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
