Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an incidental investigation on 20 January 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Padvinders B.V. in Amsterdam following a request to expand from 20 to 25 childcare places. The investigation consisted of document review and telephone interviews. The location meets the quality requirements for this expansion. The indoor play space of 90 m² and available outdoor play spaces are sufficient. The team consists of 2 permanent qualified staff members, 1 qualified staff member in training, and 1 temporary replacement, with 3 qualified staff members deployed daily. One point of attention is that the regular staff schedule must be included more specifically in the pedagogical policy. The parent committee has been informed about the expansion.
