Summary

GGD Amsterdam conducted an application-based inspection on 3 July 2026 at BSO de Beukelseberg Boothuis Jeugdland, a new after-school care (BSO) for 24 children (ages 7–13) in Amsterdam-Oost. The location is situated in the Jeugdland nature adventure playground and is part of Stichting KCWA. After initial shortcomings in the pedagogical policy, child abuse reporting protocol (melcode), safety and health policy, and trainee deployment, the provider made the necessary adjustments. The GGD concludes that the location will reasonably meet the quality requirements and advises granting permission for operation. A note of caution was added regarding discrepancies in the Commercial Register (Handelsregister) details.
