About this care
BSO De Edelsteen is located inside Vrije School De Vijfster at Texandrilaan 30, Apeldoorn, and is part of Stichting Christoforus. We provide after-school care for up to 55 children aged 4 to 13. Our location has been registered in the National Childcare Register (LRK) under number 699658470 since 1 January 2005.
Free time and fun are our priorities. After school the children gather for a snack and a drink; a quiet moment to share the stories of their day. Then they choose: join an organised activity or do something on their own. Our programme changes continuously and includes sports, games, music, cooking, reading, technology and creative workshops every day. Older children (9-13) have their own KIDSclub where they take part in challenging activities and workshops, practise independence and have a say through a children’s council.
During every school holiday De Edelsteen turns into a festive venue. We work around one theme and offer an awesome holiday programme with new activities every day and regular excursions. All activities are tailored to age and interests so every child stays challenged.
We are open straight after school and also provide care on teacher training days. Our pedagogical staff pick the children up from the IKC or wait for them at the school gate. Together with the children we think about the layout, materials and activity programme, because their opinion matters.Read more

Summary
BSO de Edelsteen in Apeldoorn, part of Stichting Christoforus Kinderopvang with an anthroposophical pedagogical foundation, was inspected on 14 April 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Noord- en Oost-Gelderland. The after-school care (BSO) is located in primary school De Vijfster and accommodates 55 children across three base groups. The annual inspection shows a predominantly positive picture: all assessed regulations are being followed. The pedagogical policy is up-to-date and implemented in practice by childcare professionals. Staffing levels meet statutory requirements, all employees hold the correct qualifications and VOG (Certificate of Good Conduct) declarations, and the accommodation (indoor and outdoor spaces) meets the standards. The only notable historical violation dates from September 2024, when insufficiently qualified childcare professionals were deployed due to staff changes and a vacancy. This violation has since been resolved, as confirmed during further investigation in June 2025. No new violations or areas for improvement were identified during this inspection.
