Summary

BSO Sam en Lot in Bornerbroek, part of Stichting Humankind, was inspected on 15 September 2025. The location provides after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 44 children aged 4–13 years at basisschool Sint Stephanus. Although the pedagogical practice was assessed positively, with sufficient emotional safety, self-reliance, and social competence, a violation was identified in the pedagogical policy. The policy plan lacked concrete descriptions of working methods and age composition of base groups, as well as the organisation of multi-location care. Following a recovery offer, the provider submitted a revised plan on 14 October 2025 in which the shortcomings were addressed. All other areas (staff, accommodation, parent committee) meet statutory requirements.
