Summary

The annual inspection of after-school care (BSO) De Schelfhorst in Almelo shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets the legal requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff, and accommodation. The pedagogical practice is assessed as good: staff members provide emotional security, adapt to children's developmental levels, and encourage self-reliance. The staff is well-trained and the staff-to-child ratio is adhered to. The premises meet the requirements. The only point of concern is the absence of a parent committee, a violation that has been ongoing since 2024. Despite repeated efforts by the provider (recruitment posters, parent portal, intake interviews), it has not been possible to recruit parents. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises against enforcement because the quality of the care is not at risk as a result.
