Summary

After-school care (BSO) De Tweemaster in Gorinchem, part of Alexandra Kinderopvang, was inspected on 27 November 2025. The location provides care for 26 children aged 4 to 12 years in one base group. The general pedagogical quality is good: there is a relaxed atmosphere and the staff member responds warmly and supportively. However, two violations were identified for which a recovery offer was made. First, the safety and health policy was insufficient: children climbed unsupervised in climbing frames despite supervision being required by policy, and fall protection was missing. Second, the staff member was unaware of the duty to report, consult, and file official notifications in cases of suspected abuse. The provider accepted both recovery offers and resolved the shortcomings in January 2026. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
