Shortcomings

• Pedagogical policy not yet fully rewritten after expansion to 33 childcare places: missing description of cross-location holiday care, base groups for activities with >30 children, working method for base groups, and considerations for staff-child ratios
• Not yet documented who the second present adult is when deviating from standard staffing (three-hour rule)
• Not yet described how the safety and health policy can be accessed by staff members, trainees, volunteers, and parents
• Staff members and structurally present individuals still need to be registered in and linked to the PRK before opening

Summary

GGD Gelderland-Zuid inspected BSO De Buddha Kids in Overasselt on 10 March 2026 for registration. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates a maximum of 33 children aged 4-12 on the grounds of football club Overasseltse Boys, with sports and physical activity as its central theme. The pedagogical and safety policies are largely compliant, as are the space requirements. However, several elements in the pedagogical policy have not yet been adjusted following expansion from 22 to 33 places. The location may only open after receiving an environmental permit. The operator did not submit a statement of objection.
