Summary

GGD Flevoland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 20 May 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Club Basker – Billie Holidaystraat in Almere. The location meets all assessed quality requirements following a recovery offer. There was a warm, relaxed atmosphere; children were at ease and actively engaged in play. The pedagogical practice is sound, with sensitively responsive staff. Two violations were identified that were resolved through a recovery offer (29 June 2026): not working in accordance with the base group policy during mealtimes, and a missing signature from the practical supervisor on a guidance plan. Both shortcomings have been resolved. Points for attention concern describing concrete actions for major risks in the safety policy, and furnishing a group room still to be opened following the expansion of childcare places. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
