About this care
Right in the heart of Haarlem – yes, really in the city center – you'll find BSO de Kring. This location is cozy, laid back and feels like coming home after a long day. Slippers on and just chill. There's plenty of space (literally and figuratively) to unwind. Or not, of course.
Our location at Parklaan 110 provides care for 60 school-age children from 4 to 12 years old. We have a theater hall with a stage (you know, with those red velvet curtains), a gym, a large kitchen (for the better baking projects) and an adventurous playground with tunnels, sand, bushes and lots of greenery.
The 7-plus kids have their own cool spot at the Kringzolder. Think of a huge games cupboard, bean bags and even workbenches for tinkering. Our little rascals (4-7 years) hang out in the Kringhuisje. This used to be the caretaker's house, but is now a cozy space with its own art studio.
We work intensively with primary school De Kring, which is located right next to us at Parklaan 108. This collaboration ensures a smooth transition from school to after-school care. After school, the children come straight to us where they can relax, play and be creative.Read more

Summary
GGD Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 12 November 2025 at after-school care (BSO) Kring Op Stoom in Haarlem. The after-school care accommodates 60 children aged 4 to 12 and is part of the organisation Op Stoom. The pedagogical climate, safety policy, and accommodation comply with legislation and regulations. One violation was identified: a trainee was not timely linked to the correct B.V. with their Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), but was linked to the main B.V. The holder resolved this immediately following the recovery offer. Previous improvement points from 2024 regarding age group separation and safety when switching rooms have since been resolved. The GGD advises against enforcement.
