About this care

AI
Welcome to BSO de Caleidoscoop, located at Hammarskjöldstraat 230 in Hoofddorp. We provide after-school care and before-school care for children aged 4 to 12, right next to primary school De Caleidoscoop. Our experienced pedagogical staff offer professional childcare in a homely atmosphere where every child feels safe and at home. We work with both horizontal and vertical groups, allowing children to play with peers as well as with younger or older children. The day starts calmly with a healthy breakfast and a cuddle. After school, children can enjoy our spacious garden, paint and craft with clay, or create with natural materials. Music and sports are also part of the programme: we sing songs, make our own instruments and move daily in the playroom or on the school playground. Our pedagogical staff closely follow each child's development and tailor activities to the child's needs. We work closely with primary school De Caleidoscoop and other schools in the neighbourhood, ensuring a smooth transition from school to childcare. Parents stay informed through our parent app. BSO de Caleidoscoop is open on school days from 07:30 to 18:00 and during holidays from 08:30 to 18:00. We provide care on study days, school holidays and pedagogical free days. For questions or a tour, please feel free to contact us.

Summary

Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 14 April 2026 at BSO de Caleidoscoop in Hoofddorp, an anthroposophical after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13 with 68 places. The location meets all assessed quality requirements regarding pedagogical policy, pedagogical practice, persons register, sufficient qualified staff, and stability of care. The team is stable and works well together. The parent committee is satisfied. One point of attention is that during outdoor playtime directly after school hours, staff mainly provide supervision rather than participating in play or organizing activities. Earlier violations from 2024 and 2025 have been resolved or are being addressed.
