BSO Het Berenparadijs

Strengths

• Staff members have access to the most recent policy documents via Teams and the parent portal
• Description of breaks in the pedagogical policy is now sufficiently specific

Violations

• Pedagogical policy: description of working method, maximum size, age structure of base groups and staffing deployment is insufficiently specific (unclear when merging groups, maximum group size for Brulberen group is contradictory)
• Pedagogical policy: description of provider's considerations regarding staff deployment and ratio to number of present children is incomplete (no link between group selection and number of staff members, no considerations when merging groups)
• Safety and health: action plan lacks timeframes for measures and course of action if risks occur

Summary

The unannounced follow-up inspection on 12 May 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Het Berenparadijs in Laren, part of Stichting Humankind, shows that two previously identified violations have still not been resolved. The pedagogical policy still contains incomplete descriptions of working methods, group size and staffing deployment. The safety and health action plan also lacks mandatory elements such as timeframes and courses of action in case of risks. A positive development is that staff members now have access to current policy documents via Teams and the parent portal, enabling them to act in accordance with policy. The location has an extensive history of violations and municipal enforcement, including multiple enforcement orders with penalty payments. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipal executive to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
