Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an annual inspection on 24 March 2026 at after-school care (BSO) De Zonnewijzer 2 Op Stoom in Haarlem, an after-school care facility for 105 children aged 6 to 13 years. The location generally meets the quality requirements. One area of attention was identified: indoor climate and ventilation. During the visit, windows and doors of four activity rooms were closed, while the protocol requires that rooms be structurally ventilated. The staff member indicated that the children quickly felt cold. In their response, the provider stated that this would be addressed in the team meeting to ensure the ventilation policy is consistently followed going forward. Previous violations from 2025 have been resolved. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
