About this care
BSO Emma is located in the heart of Kindcentrum Emma at Hilleniussingel 23 in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 13 who attend Emmaschool. In our main building we operate three BSO groups: two groups for children aged 4 to 7 and one 7+ group for older children. The youngest children play and learn under the guidance of Ashley, Romée, Nermin, Rick, Jayliah and Bjorn. Anfernee and Kevin lead the 7+ group. In our annex at Adriaen van der Doeslaan 15, an additional 7+ group is supervised by Sandy and Robin in a cozy library filled with books, creative and educational activities.
We believe in learning through play, discovery and developing social skills. Our activities focus on technology and creativity: children can build, craft, design and experiment with various materials and techniques. From technical constructions to artistic projects and discovering digital skills – we encourage children to use their imagination and discover new talents.
BSO Emma is open five days a week, except for the week between Christmas and New Year. When school is closed, for example during study days or holidays, care is still provided for children with a 52-week contract. We work closely with Stichting Opwijs, which shapes our pedagogical policy and safety & health policy. Parents stay informed through the Social Schools app and our weekly newsletter.
Feel free to visit us for a tour and experience the warm, safe atmosphere in which your child can develop.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced follow-up inspection at BSO Emma in Rotterdam on 20 March 2026, an after-school care (BSO) for 97 children aged 4 to 13 years. This inspection followed an annual investigation on 7 October 2025 in which violations were identified regarding pedagogical practice, safety and health policy, and reporting, consultation, and notification obligations. This follow-up inspection found that the provider, Stichting Opwijs Opvang, meets all three quality requirements. The previously identified violations have been resolved: mealtimes have been restructured with more room for child participation, the safety and health policy has been expanded with concrete risk descriptions and measures, and staff have been better informed about reporting, consultation, and notification obligations. The pedagogical practice showed strong points in emotional security, personal competence, social competence, and the transmission of norms and values. Children actively participate in tidying up and decision-making.
