Summary

BSO Zuidlaren IKC De Zuid-Wester at Julianalaan 78 in Zuidlaren has been operating from a temporary building since July 2024 and provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 13 children aged 0-12 years in one combined group. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the location on 17 July 2025. All assessed areas (pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights) meet the legal requirements. The pedagogical practice is positive: children experience emotional safety, have freedom of choice, develop social skills, and are familiar with clear rules. The team is qualified, staff-to-child ratios are in order, an active domestic violence reporting protocol is in place, the spaces are sufficiently large and safe, and parents have access to a clear complaints procedure. There is no parent committee, but this is legally permitted with fewer than 50 registered children. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The municipality was advised not to take enforcement action.
