Summary

Kids Academy BSO at Bijlmerdreef 1289 in Amsterdam provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 30 children in two core groups. During the annual inspection on 5 March 2025, four violations were identified: an incomplete description of the core groups in the pedagogical policy, a delayed registration of a new employee in the Childcare Persons Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang), insufficient implementation of the safety and health policy, and insufficient knowledge of mandatory reporting, consultation, and disclosure obligations. All violations were resolved during the investigation by adjusting policy, introducing an onboarding program, and securing knowledge through training and checklists. The pedagogical practice appears positive: children experience structure and emotional security, attention is given to social interaction, and appropriate activities are offered. The accommodation is safely and invitingly furnished. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to impose enforcement measures as recovery has been sufficiently secured.
