Summary

Cowboys & Angels is a small-scale after-school care (BSO) in 's-Gravenhage with places for 30 children aged 4-12. The inspection took place on 20 June 2025. The pedagogical policy plan initially lacked three elements: staff deployment in relation to the professional-child ratio, settling-in policy, and tasks of interns/volunteers. The location was given a recovery offer, after which the plan was supplemented in time and approved. The pedagogical practice received praise: staff communicate sensitively, provide emotional safety, stimulate social competence, and convey norms and values in a positive manner. All staff members are properly registered, qualified, and hold a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and paediatric first aid certificate. No other violations or safety issues were found.
