Summary

Kindcentrum De Bosvlinder in Hooghalen provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 20 children. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection took place on 6 February 2025. The pedagogical policy initially did not meet legal requirements: the plan insufficiently described how the staff-child ratio was achieved, particularly for preschool care. Following a recovery offer, the organisation submitted a revised plan within the set deadline that now does comply. No deficiencies were found in the other areas examined – staff and groups, safety and health. The pedagogical practice appears positive: staff provide emotional security, know each child personally, ensure varied activities, and guide social interaction. There is always someone with a valid first aid certificate present, and the back-up supervision arrangement is in order. The municipality was advised not to take enforcement action.
