About this care
Welcome to BSO Het Speelhuis, located at Berkstraat 75 in the heart of Oldenzaal. As part of Humankind Childcare and Development, we provide after-school care designed especially for children aged 4 to 13. With us, the hours after school are meant both for winding down and for discovering new things.
Our pedagogical staff create a warm, familiar feeling every single day. We work from one clear principle: children need free time, yet they also love to be challenged. That is why we combine relaxation and adventure. After a long school day children can play, craft, build, run, or simply do nothing at all. Anything goes, nothing is obligatory.
BSO Het Speelhuis cooperates with primary schools in the immediate area, so we pick the children up safely after school and bring them straight to our location. The groups are small and manageable, giving us real time and attention for every child. We know them by name, understand what they enjoy and tailor our programme accordingly.
Our rooms are bright, colourful and inviting. Inside there is plenty of space for creative corners, a chill-out zone with books and games, and a small kitchen where we regularly cook or bake together. Outside we have a secure playground with climbing frames, a sandpit and enough room to play football or tag.
During school holidays BSO Het Speelhuis turns into one big adventure. We organise themed weeks, go on excursions, build camps in the gym or create our own film. Even then children are allowed to think along and choose. This keeps every holiday surprising and fun.
We believe it is important for parents to stay involved. Through our parent app we share daily photos and short messages so you can see what your child is up to. Questions or ideas? We are always open for a chat at pick-up or drop-off.
In short, at BSO Het Speelhuis your child has the space to be themselves, try new things and enjoy a great time together with friends.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: February 5, 2026
Strengths

- Children are given space for independence and self-direction
- Sufficiently qualified staff and correct staff-to-child ratios
- Pedagogical policy staff are adequately deployed for coaching and policy development

Violations
- The pedagogical work plan contained insufficient concrete description of cross-location care on school-free days (holidays): parents had no insight into where their child would be cared for
- Staff had insufficient knowledge of the option to consult the confidential inspector for childcare and the mandatory reporting obligation when suspecting a sexual offence or abuse by the holder/ultimate responsible person
- No parent committee of at least two parents was established for after-school care (BSO) Het Speelhuis; the holder believed a combined committee with nearby locations was sufficient, but the locations are not adjacent
Summary
The annual inspection by GGD Twente of after-school care (BSO) Het Speelhuis in Oldenzaal, conducted on 5 February 2026, presents a mixed picture. The after-school care for 31 children (ages 4-13) has strong pedagogical qualities but faced three shortcomings, two of which have been resolved. One violation in the area of parent rights has not been lifted. The GGD advises the municipal executive (college van B&W) to enforce.
