BSO de Wirrewar

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice: sensitive and responsive approach to children
• Good stimulation of emotional safety, personal and social competence
• All staff members hold the correct qualifications and Certificate of Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag)
• Correct compliance with staff-to-child ratios
• Sufficient deployment of pedagogical policy staff for coaching

Shortcomings

• Space usage on the ground floor requires attention: the central hallway with kitchen is not a play area but counts toward the square meters, and is also used by the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) resulting in noise disturbance

Summary

BSO de Wirrewar in Drachten, part of Smallsteps kinderopvang, was inspected on 13 January 2026 by GGD Fryslân. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates a maximum of 113 children across 5 base groups (ages 4-13). The annual inspection shows that the location meets all statutory quality requirements. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff work sensitively and responsively, and stimulate children's development. Staff qualifications, child ratios, and registration in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang) are also in order. However, the inspector noted a point of attention regarding the layout of the ground floor space, where the kitchen/hallway counts as play area but is not set up as such. This will be reviewed again at the next inspection. No violations were identified and no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued.
