Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 4 September 2025 at after-school care (BSO) De Boszangers in Blijham presents a mixed picture. The new location of childcare organisation KIWI provides responsible pedagogical care with a relaxed atmosphere and empathetic staff. However, multiple shortcomings were identified in the policy documents. The holder indicated in their response that most points have since been resolved, including the missing first aid certificate which has been submitted. The advice to the municipality is to enforce in accordance with the enforcement policy.
