Prokino Charlois BSO

Strengths

• Staff meet all qualification requirements and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) obligations
• Staff-to-child ratios are in order
• Domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is fully in place and known to all employees
• Pedagogical policy staff member and coach are deployed sufficiently
• Location offers appropriate care for children with additional support needs (BSO+)

Shortcomings

• The after-school snack and drink time could be made more educationally valuable through better group management and more encouragement of mutual interaction
• Greater use of interaction skills, such as providing structure and guiding interactions
• Layout and play materials can be improved to make the space more challenging, stimulating and inviting

Summary

Prokino Charlois BSO in Rotterdam is an after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13 with 73 places, divided between a regular BSO group and a BSO+ group. The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection shows a mixed picture. In terms of staff, groups and safety, the location fully complies with legislation and regulations. However, the pedagogical climate is only minimally adequate. Areas for improvement have been identified in the pedagogical policy and pedagogical practice, particularly around the snack and drink time, group management, interaction skills and the layout of the space. The location manager and pedagogical coach recognise these points and have drawn up an action plan. No violations have been established and no recovery offer has been made.
