About this care
Welcome to HOPPAS Giessen BSO, located at the GRC-14 sports park on Karbogerd 1 in Giessen. Our team provides after-school care for children aged 4 to 12 years in a safe and stimulating environment. The location is situated right next to the Almbos forest, which we use daily for outdoor activities and nature experiences.
Sports and physical activity are central to our program. Children can participate in various sports activities, including gym classes in collaboration with local associations. A unique opportunity is taking swimming lessons during BSO hours, in partnership with Aqua Altena. Over 100 children have already obtained their swimming diplomas through our program.
Our BSO is divided into two age groups: 4-7 years and 7-12 years. Each group has its own space tailored to the specific needs of that age. We provide not just care, but a complete program with fun activities. During school holidays and study days, we organize special vacation programs.
We work closely with local partners such as sports associations, music schools, and nature organizations. These collaborations ensure a wide range of activities. Our pedagogical staff are specialized in guiding children after school, where relaxation and development go hand in hand.
Parents are actively involved in our care. We believe it's important to know what you as a parent find important in your child's care. Together we create the best conditions for your child to grow and develop. At HOPPAS Giessen, personal attention and a loving approach are central.Read more

Summary
HOPPAS Giessen (BSO) in the municipality of Altena was inspected by GGD West-Brabant on 28 April 2026. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates a maximum of 50 children aged 4 to 13, divided into two base groups. The location meets the statutory requirements for pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and complaint handling. One violation was identified: no parent committee has been established, while this is legally required for more than 50 children in care. The provider has demonstrably made efforts to recruit parents through various channels and involves parents in an alternative manner in policy matters. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) therefore advises refraining from enforcement, but emphasizes that the provider retains the obligation to establish a parent committee.
Reviews
Op de opvanglocaties werken écht stuk voor stuk topmensen. Het kantoor daarentegen is echt een drama om mee samen te werken.
Mijn 3 kinderen hebben het hier ontzettend naar hun zin gehad. Fijne leidsters met persoonlijke aandacht. De buitenruimte is een combinatie van groen,...
