Summary

The annual inspection report of 2 June 2026 for Kikk BV (BSO) in Lage Mierde presents a predominantly positive picture with several identified shortcomings that have since been resolved. The small-scale after-school care (BSO) accommodates 33 children aged 4-12. The pedagogical practice is sound: children are sensitively guided, there are purposeful activities tailored to age, and staff stimulate social competence. Staff and groups also score largely positively: all staff are appropriately qualified, hold a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), and meet the language requirement. However, five violations were identified in the pedagogical policy and deployment of the pedagogical policy staff member, including missing descriptions of core group working methods, frameworks for staff ratio deviations, settling-in procedures, intern tasks, and an incorrect calculation of policy hours. The provider has resolved all shortcomings through a recovery offer as of 6 July 2026. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
