About this care
Welcome to Partou de Zon at Achtergracht 2 in the heart of Amsterdam Centrum. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 13 years in a beautiful old warehouse that is wonderfully bright inside. Our enthusiastic and stable team is ready every day to pick up the children from school and give them an unforgettable afternoon.
Our after-school care has two vertical groups with a maximum of 20 children per group. Children can enjoy our gym, children's cooking café, lab or studio. Here they discover what they enjoy and what they are good at. We actively involve the children in the layout, toys and activities that we organize daily. With the older children, we love to play table tennis and basketball on the primary school playground, where there is also a beautiful water table.
We pick up children from ASVO Primary School and Dr E. Broekmanschool. For safety and recognizability, the children wear vests during pick-up. After school, children can join us on discovery in our garden, participate in sports activities, craft in our studio, cook in our children's cooking café or experiment in our lab. We also regularly make trips to U.J. Klaren playground, the petting zoo, Albert Cuyp market or Artis.
At Partou de Zon, we work with a strong pedagogical climate in which every child feels safe and seen. Our pedagogical professionals help children grow playfully and gain new experiences. We use our own app to keep parents informed about how their child is enjoying themselves. We serve a healthy hot lunch daily and provide fresh and healthy meals.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: March 12, 2025
Strengths
- Open and safe atmosphere during meals; children feel heard and dare to express their feelings
- Staff stimulate curiosity, language, and social skills through conversations and joint games
- Children are actively involved in tidying up and given responsibility, which promotes independence
- All employees are registered in the Childcare Personnel Register and hold appropriate qualifications
- Sufficient staffing levels at all times, including correct deployment of work-based learning (BBL) students and trainees
- Structural coaching by the pedagogical policy staff member for all permanent and substitute staff
Shortcomings
- One regular substitute staff member does not know where to find the domestic violence reporting protocol; the location manager will still discuss this
Summary
Kinderopvang De Zon is an after-school care (BSO) in Amsterdam-Centrum with 80 places. During the unannounced annual inspection on 12 March 2025, it was established that all statutory quality requirements are met. The location offers a safe and stimulating environment: children experience emotional safety, receive individual attention, play and learn together, and are encouraged in their independence. All staff members hold a valid Certificate of Good Conduct (Verklaring Omtrent het Gedrag/VOG) and the required qualifications; staffing is sufficient at all times. There is an effective safety and health policy, including a domestic violence reporting protocol that is discussed regularly. The only improvement concerns one substitute staff member who did not know where to find the reporting protocol; the location manager will discuss this with her. No violations were identified. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to accept the report for information.
