Summary

After-school care (BSO) Kool en Bosch in Baambrugge, part of De Walvis B.V., was inspected on 13 April 2026. The location provides care for a maximum of 11 children aged 4 to 12 years. The pedagogical climate and staff and groups meet the requirements. Safety and health meet requirements after a recovery offer. Two violations were identified: an unsafe outdoor space with splintered wood, chicken droppings and loose branches, and vermin (mice) in the building. Both violations have been resolved following a recovery offer. The operator has cleared the outdoor space, updated the safety and health policy, engaged a pest control service and drawn up an action plan. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
