About this care
Welcome to BSO Het Pienternest, located at Pienterpad 4 in the heart of Middenmeer. As part of Smallsteps, we provide after-school care for up to 52 children aged 4 to 12 years. Our location is part of a community school that also houses a daycare center, library, and three primary schools. This unique setting creates a familiar and safe environment where children can develop optimally.
Our pedagogical staff pick up children after school – on foot, by bike, or by taxi – and bring them to our after-school care. We often start the afternoon with outdoor play in our own garden, where children can explore together with friends. Afterwards, they can choose from various activities such as crafts, cooking, or sports games. Through our app, we keep parents informed about how their child is experiencing the afternoon.
We work from a strong pedagogical climate in which every child feels safe and seen. Our professionals guide children playfully in their development and help them build resilience and self-confidence. We believe that children should be given the space to make their own choices and gain new experiences in a familiar setting.
BSO Het Pienternest is there for all children in the area who are looking for a nice place to play, learn, and grow after school. We offer a warm and professional environment where your child will feel completely at home.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: July 23, 2026
Violations
- The provider has not established a parent committee for the after-school care (BSO) where more than 50 children are cared for, despite this being a legal requirement (Art. 1.58(1) and (2) and 1.58a(1) of the Childcare Act). Only one parent signed up following recruitment efforts, which is insufficient to form a committee.
Summary
Het Pienternest is an after-school care (buitenschoolse opvang/BSO) in Middenmeer for 52 children (ages 4–13), part of Smallsteps B.V. (Partou). This follow-up inspection of 23 July 2026 focused on a previously identified violation: the absence of a parent committee. Despite recruitment efforts (newsletter, posters, website), only one parent signed up, which is insufficient. The violation has therefore not been resolved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Hollands Kroon to enforce in accordance with its enforcement policy.
