BSO De Beabende

Strengths

• Pedagogical policy and practice are good: children receive sensitive guidance and there is attention for emotional safety and development
• Staff hold the correct qualifications and Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG)
• Staff-to-child ratio is correct
• Stability of care has been restored: children are cared for in their own base group
• Dutch as the spoken language is used correctly

Shortcomings

• Compliance with climate protocol during warm weather: ensure staff know the 25°C temperature threshold and apply all measures immediately
• Food safety: remove refrigerated products from the refrigerator only shortly before use
• Safe working method when working alone in a group: do not use chairs to hold doors open

Violations

• Safety and health policy is not being carried out in accordance with regulations: refrigerated fruit had been left outside the refrigerator for more than thirty minutes, a staff member was not aware of the 25°C temperature threshold, and heat measures were not taken (no extra drinking moments, water ice lollies, sun shading; screens had been ordered but not yet installed)

Summary

BSO De Beabende in Rotterdam, part of Kiddoozz Rotterdam B.V., was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 7 July 2026. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates 34 children (ages 4-13), currently in one group. The pedagogical climate, staff, and groups comply with the law. However, there are shortcomings regarding safety and health: refrigerated fruit was left outside the refrigerator for too long, a door was held open in an unsafe manner with a chair, and during high temperatures (26.3°C) measures from the climate protocol were not applied. The staff member did not know the 25°C temperature threshold. The holder stated in their response that the team has been re-instructed and that screens have been ordered.
