Summary

GGD Amsterdam conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 31 July 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Mirakel Kalfjeslaan in Amsterdam. The after-school care (BSO) is part of Kinderdagverblijf Mirakel NSO B.V. and accommodates up to 94 children in 5 core groups. All inspected quality requirements have been met. The team is stable, with fixed staff members per group. The pedagogical practice is strong: children feel emotionally safe, are stimulated in their personal development, and practice independence. The safety and health policy is well implemented, including protocols for independent outdoor play, outings, and missing child procedures. The accommodation meets the requirements with sufficient indoor play space. There is one point of attention: the 'Kinderestafette' observation form is completed, but not routinely discussed with parents, despite being stated in the policy. The location manager was surprised by this finding and will raise it at the next team meeting. No violations were identified and no recovery offer was issued.
