Summary

BSO Kindcentrum het Kompas in Heijningen provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 11 children aged 4-12. During the annual unannounced inspection visit on 30 September 2025, the location was found to comply with statutory requirements in all areas except the pedagogical policy. The policy plan lacked three mandatory components regarding cross-center care on non-school days. The holder made use of a recovery offer and submitted a completed plan within the deadline. The inspection further found a safe, well-maintained facility with sufficient indoor and outdoor space, well-qualified staff, an up-to-date safety and health policy, correct registration in the persons register, an adequate complaints procedure, and clear information provision to parents. The pedagogical practice appears positive: practitioners are sensitive, responsive, and provide structure and challenge, enabling children to feel emotionally safe and secure. There is no parent committee, but parents are involved in other ways. No complaints were submitted in 2024.
