• All staff hold appropriate qualifications and meet the language requirement
• Safety and health policy is up to date and implemented in accordance with regulations
• Sufficient staff deployed according to statutory ratios
• Good provision of information to parents via website and parent portal

Shortcomings

Summary

BSO Franciscus in IJmuiden was inspected on 27 August 2026 by GGD Kennemerland. The after-school care (BSO) for 22 children (ages 4-13), located in the Franciscusschool and part of Zoople Velsen B.V., meets all assessed quality requirements. The inspection concerned an unannounced investigation following registration. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff provide emotional security, adequately guide social interactions, and know each child personally. Staff are well qualified, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) checks are registered, and sufficient staff are deployed. The safety and health policy is up to date and adhered to. A point of attention is that staff were not fully aware that the hallway counts as play space for the square meter requirement; this was discussed on site. There is not yet a parent committee, but this is not required given the number of 22 children. The provider is nevertheless working toward establishing one.
