About this care
Welcome to BSO Franciscus, located in Kulturhus De Borg at Babborgaplein 3B in the heart of Babberich. As part of IKC Franciscus we work closely with the primary school in the same building, allowing children to move seamlessly after school to a familiar place full of challenge and relaxation.
Our after-school care is open every school day from the moment school ends until 6:30 PM. During school holidays and study days we are ready for a full day of fun from 7:30 AM onwards. We use two locations: BSO Franciscus Junior (in the day-care and toddler-care building) and BSO Franciscus Senior (in the school building). This allows us to offer activities perfectly suited to the different ages and interests of the children.
Freedom of choice is central to us. Children decide for themselves what they want to do that afternoon. One time it might be enthusiastic football on our own pitch or an exploration of Babberich’s natural surroundings. Another time it might be quiet crafting, making music, or simply reading with a biscuit and a drink. Our experienced, enthusiastic and committed pedagogical staff provide active and varied activities daily within a theme that matches what the children enjoy. Think sports, games, creative workshops or technical challenges.
During holidays we go the extra mile. We then organise full-day programmes where, for example, we go sports, hold a screen-printing workshop or light a campfire together. Everything is aimed at giving children space to develop and be themselves. We pick children up on foot from school, so parents can work worry-free and children can start their afternoon safely and confidently.
BSO Franciscus has room for up to 30 children and is open 52 weeks a year. For questions or a tour, please contact us at 0316-215240 or make an appointment via the Humankind website.Read more

Summary
BSO Franciscus in Babberich, part of Stichting Humankind, was inspected unannounced by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 2 March 2026. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates 30 children in two base groups (ages 4–6 and 7–13). All assessed quality requirements have been met: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. The location scores well on safety measures such as locked fences, hand hygiene, covering of the sandpit, and tracking allergies on a tablet. All four staff members and the location manager are correctly registered in the childcare persons register. A functioning domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is in place. The holder adequately informs parents and is affiliated with the Childcare Disputes Committee. There is not yet a parent committee, but the holder actively recruits parents and engages them through the IKC council. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
