About this care
Welcome to BSO Costa del Sol, part of Saffana’s Kindercentrum located at Terschellingstraat 4 in Almere. We provide after-school care for up to 40 children aged 4 to 12 years. Our BSO has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 5 August 2019 under LRK number 102838999 and operates according to the pedagogical vision of Saffana’s Kindercentrum.
At BSO Costa del Sol we organise sports activities, including weekly football training sessions on the pitches of ASC Waterwijk. In addition, we offer a wide range of development-oriented activities within the themes of sports, arts and nature. Our pedagogical staff guide the children with their homework and stimulate their creative and motor development.
Parents stay involved through our unique app. Through this app, you as a parent can see exactly what your child is doing and how the day went. Prior to starting, we always schedule a personal intake interview. During this meeting, parents get to know the location, the manager and the pedagogical employee who will become the permanent mentor of your child. We explain our working methods, the group structure and the possibilities of the app.
BSO Costa del Sol works closely with primary schools in the area to ensure a smooth transition from school to after-school care. Our location is GGD certified and offers a safe and challenging environment in which children can relax and develop after an intensive school day.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: April 13, 2026
Strengths
- Staff hold appropriate qualifications and meet the language requirement

- Health and safety policy is complete and well implemented
- Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is adequate
- Parents are sufficiently informed and a complaints procedure is in place
- Pedagogical policy officer is deployed for the mandatory number of hours
- Each child has been assigned a mentor
Shortcomings
- Expand the pedagogical policy plan with a concrete description of the ratio between staff and children
- Improve group dynamics, structure, and guidance of children
- Introduce greater consistency in setting boundaries and providing structure
- Better guide children in interactions and respectful behaviour
- Make better use of outdoor space and play materials to provide developmental challenge
Violations
- The pedagogical policy plan lacks a concrete description of considerations regarding the ratio between the minimum number of staff and the number of children present
- The provider fails to ensure pedagogically responsible childcare: insufficient boundaries and structure, insufficient developmental challenge, insufficient guidance in interactions
Summary
The annual inspection of 13 April 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Costa del Sol in Almere shows that the location fails to sufficiently meet statutory requirements. Two shortcomings were identified: an incomplete pedagogical policy plan and insufficient pedagogically responsible childcare in practice. Staff do work in accordance with policy and meet all qualification requirements. Safety, health, and parental rights are well arranged. The provider submitted a statement of position in which they partially acknowledge the findings, while also providing context regarding staff turnover and pedagogical choices. The shortcoming in the policy plan has since been remedied.
