About this care

AI
At BSO De Poolster, we believe in nurturing the unique personalities of every child. Our program is designed to offer a wide range of activities and themes, allowing children to explore their interests and develop new skills. We encourage active participation and give children the freedom to contribute ideas about what they want to do, fostering a sense of ownership and self-expression. Our experienced team takes into account the individual needs and ages of the children, ensuring that activities are both challenging and appropriate for their developmental level. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where friendships can flourish and children feel both physically and emotionally safe. By collaborating with the children and integrating their ideas into our program, we aim to provide an environment that is not only educational but also fun and engaging. At BSO De Poolster, the well-being and development of every child is central, and we aim to be a place where children love to come and feel valued. Currently, we do not offer BSO on Fridays at our location. However, you can place your child on the waiting list for this day. Once there are enough registrations, we can expand our offerings.

Violations
Following a recovery offer, the location now meets all assessed requirements. The overall quality of care is good, with staff actively involved in policy development and implementation.

Strengths

  • The pedagogical policy is actively communicated to staff through team meetings and coaching
  • Staff are involved in developing, evaluating, and updating the safety and health policy
  • The reporting protocol for domestic violence and child abuse has been adequately established and knowledge is actively promoted
  • Parents are well informed about policy, the complaints procedure, and the disputes committee
  • Alternative parent consultation is well organized despite the absence of a parent committee

Violations

  • The safety and health policy did not contain a concrete description of the risk of children playing barefoot in public playgrounds during outings. During the inspection visit, multiple children were playing barefoot in a public playground, which was not corrected by staff. This risk was missing from the policy.

Summary

GGD Hollands Noorden conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 7 July 2026 at after-school care (BSO) De Poolster in Heerhugowaard, part of Stichting Allente opvang. The location provides care for 24 children aged 4 to 13 years. Initially, violations were identified in the area of safety and health policy, after which a recovery offer was issued. After recovery, all requirements have been met. Other areas such as pedagogical climate, staff, and parental rights were compliant from the outset. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.

Zeer slechte school. Oa omdat ze totaal een falend anti pestbeleid hebben (1 juf is de enige die het goed aanpakt)
