Summary

BSO Montessori in Emmen is an after-school care (BSO) for up to 33 children aged 4 to 13 years, located within Montessorischool Emmen primary school. The annual unannounced inspection by GGD Drenthe on 11 June 2026 shows a positive picture. All examined areas meet the legal requirements: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. The pedagogical staff know the policy and work in accordance with it. The Certificate of Conduct (VOG) registration is in order, the safety and health policy is complete and up to date, and there is a functioning domestic violence reporting protocol. Parents are well informed through the website, parent portal, and intake process. No parent committee is required due to the low number of children, but the provider involves parents in other ways. The provider is affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The GGD advises the municipality of Emmen not to take enforcement action.
