About this care
Welcome to IK-OOK Valkenswaard, our after-school care (BSO) located at Emmalaan 5 in Valkenswaard. We are housed within IKC ’t Smelleken, allowing children to walk straight from their classroom to our BSO after school. This close collaboration with the RBOB de Kempen schools creates a seamless and familiar transition for children.
Our BSO serves children aged 4 to 13. We are open from the end of the school day until 18:00. During holidays and study days, we are open all day from 07:30 to 18:00. We pick up the youngest children from their classroom and, with parental consent, communicate with teachers to understand how each child’s school day has been.
Each child has a dedicated mentor. We offer seven distinct domains: the living room, sports club, art studio, outdoor realm, lab, restaurant, and theatre. Using a planning board, children choose which domain they want to explore and with whom. Activities range from building and woodworking to sports, creative arts, or simply enjoying outdoor play. We provide food and drinks, so parents only need to send children in clothes that can get dirty.
Our team of pedagogical professionals guides the children with care and attention. We believe every child develops in their own way and provide a safe, stimulating environment where children can discover their talents. Together with parents, we support each child’s optimal development.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: February 19, 2026
Strengths
- Health and safety met all requirements immediately
- Pedagogical practice meets the four basic objectives of Riksen-Walraven
- Staff hold the correct qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) declarations, and language proficiency certificates
- Staff-child ratio is correct and well documented
- Mentor system is well organised
Shortcomings
- Explicitly include the risk of 'uninvited guests' in the health and safety policy
- Implement visible measures to prevent unauthorised access
Violations
- The pedagogical policy plan contained insufficient concrete description of mentor-parent conversations and how children are informed about who their mentor is
- The pedagogical policy plan lacked a concrete description of considerations regarding staff-child ratio, distribution across groups, and stability
- Consent forms for placement in a second base group were not specific enough: no fixed group or times specified, forms were valid for one year without concrete days
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the after-school care (BSO) IK-OOK Valkenswaard (now part of Fluks kinderopvang) at Emmalaan on 19 February 2026. The location offers after-school care (BSO) across 5 groups for a maximum of 104 children. Health and safety met the requirements immediately. Violations were identified regarding the pedagogical climate and stability of care, for which a recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued. The provider revised the policy and prepared new consent forms, after which the supervisor confirmed that all requirements were being met. The pedagogical practice, staff qualifications, and staff-child ratio were in order. There was one point of attention regarding safety: the BSO space was accessible without announcement and the risk of 'uninvited guests' was not described. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
