About this care
BSO Paddington is located in the centre of Bedum, in a distinctive Amsterdam School-style building at Kapelstraat 1. We provide after-school care for up to 45 children aged 4 to 13. Children are split into two age groups: BSO Young (4-7 years) on the ground floor and BSO Older (7-13 years) on the first floor. This allows us to tailor activities and guidance to each child’s developmental stage.
Our site features a large, challenging outdoor play area designed especially for after-school children, where they can run, play and explore after a busy school day. We believe children should feel safe and at home, so we work in small, stable groups with consistent staff who really know your child.
We regularly organise fun, varied activities such as cooking and baking—on National Pancake Day the children helped make delicious pancakes—and creative projects with sand, water and mud on our special ‘Mud Day’. Health and safety are also important: every year our staff refresh their First Aid and Emergency Response training.
BSO Paddington is part of Kinderopvang Paddington Bedum B.V. and has been a trusted place for children in Bedum and the surrounding area for more than 25 years. You are always welcome to visit; we would love to show you our warm, homely childcare setting!Read more

Violations
Inspection date: March 24, 2026
Strengths
- The pedagogical policy is implemented in accordance with the policy plan and provides responsible care aligned with the four core pedagogical objectives
- All staff members, interns and volunteers hold valid certificates of conduct (verklaring omtrent het gedrag/VOG) and are registered in the persons register
- Staff members meet the qualification requirements and language proficiency requirement IKK
- Children receive appropriate guidance in developing their independence, with agreements made between parents and children

Summary
BSO Paddington in Bedum, part of Kinderopvang Paddington Bedum B.V., provides care for 45 children (ages 4-13) divided across two groups. During the annual unannounced inspection by GGD Groningen on 24 March 2026, the location met most quality requirements. The pedagogical climate, staff qualifications and certificates of conduct are in order. One violation was identified: the BSO did not have a separate signed regulation for its parent committee, but shared one with the KDV. Following a recovery offer, the holder corrected this by submitting a separate signed regulation for the BSO parent committee. The shortcoming has been resolved.
