About this care
Welcome to BSO Chapeau Geldermalsen! We are located right in the centre of Geldermalsen and operate from two primary schools: Oranje Nassauschool and Jan Harmenshof. This allows us to pick the children up straight after class and provide after-school care for up to 33 children at each site. Our qualified staff are ready every day to give children aged 4 to 12 a safe, fun and challenging afternoon.
Play and discovery are at the heart of everything we do. Children can choose from a wide range of activities: arts and crafts in our creative corner, sports and games in the gym or on the playground, helping to prepare a healthy snack in the kitchen and, of course, plenty of outdoor fun in our garden. During every school holiday we organise the famous Chapeau Camp with a new theme each year, including exciting excursions or setting up our own camp on the school grounds.
We work closely with local primary schools and literally collect the children at the classroom door. Fruit and drinks are included, so everyone can recharge after a long school day. Feel free to drop by for a visit; we would love to show you why children enjoy coming to BSO Chapeau Geldermalsen!Read more

Summary
BSO Chapeau Geldermalsen is an after-school care (BSO) located in the Oranje Nassauschool with 33 places. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 16 December 2024 concludes that the location meets all statutory quality requirements after recovery. The pedagogical practice is good: children experience emotional security, personal attention and plenty of play challenges. Staff-to-child ratios are in order, all employees have the correct diplomas and Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), and the safety plan is complete. The spaces are spacious, safe and invitingly furnished. Parents are well informed via website and app; there is no parent committee yet, but the holder is actively seeking participants. During the inspection, the pedagogical work plan did not fully describe how the two base groups are arranged; this was promptly supplemented following a recovery offer. No violations or complaints were identified. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement measures.
