Summary

Dak Am bachtsgaarde is an after-school care facility (BSO) in 's-Gravenhage with 46 registered childcare places for children aged 4-13. The unannounced annual inspection by GGD Haaglanden on 29 April 2026 showed that the location generally functions well. The pedagogical climate is positive: staff encourage interaction between children and act in accordance with policy. Personnel hold the correct qualifications, VOG declarations, and meet language requirements. The staff-to-child ratio is adhered to. However, an important administrative discrepancy was identified: the location is registered with 46 childcare places, but the available indoor space (138.7 m²) is only sufficient for a maximum of 39 children. In practice, no more than 31 children are cared for, meaning no violation was present at the time of inspection. The provider has been requested to submit a modification request to the municipality to reduce the number of childcare places.
