About this care
Welcome to BSO Kindcentrum De Koperwiek located at Langstraat 92 in Venlo. We are part of Beste kinderopvang 2.0 and provide after-school care for up to 60 children aged 4 to 12. Our BSO is integrated within the Integraal Kindcentrum De Koperwiek, allowing seamless collaboration with the primary school so children can transition directly to our familiar environment after school hours.
Our focus is on fun and development. We offer a diverse range of activities tailored to children's interests, including arts and crafts, music, sports games, and nature activities in our own garden. We regularly organize excursions to places like the forest, library, or play paradise. Children also learn to make healthy choices through playful cooking and baking activities.
Our pedagogical staff guide children in making their own choices and encourage independence. We work with fixed groups and a consistent caregiver, ensuring every child feels safe and seen. We use horizontal grouping, where children of similar ages play and learn together. Parents can easily stay in touch through our app, and we're always available for questions or consultation.
BSO Kindcentrum De Koperwiek is open on school days from 14:15 to 18:30. During school holidays, we offer vacation care from 07:30 to 18:30. We pick up children from various primary schools in the area and provide a healthy snack and drinks after school. Together, we make every day a celebration!Read more

Summary
BSO Kindcentrum De Koperwiek on Langstraat in Venlo provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 60 children. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the location on 29 July 2025 and concluded that all statutory quality requirements are met. The pedagogical policy is complete and well implemented; the two core groups have fixed rooms and permanent, qualified staff. All employees hold a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and the proper qualifications; occupancy ratios are in order. Parents are kept well informed through the website, parent portal, and newsletters, and there is an active parent committee. Knowledge of mandatory reporting regarding signs of domestic violence could be deepened further, but no violations were identified. There was a minor administrative ambiguity regarding a VSO morning; after submission of an adjusted schedule, it was confirmed that this requirement was also met. No enforcement is required; the municipality is advised not to take additional measures.
