Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Kennemerland conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 19 August 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Kinderopvang Otje in Hoofddorp. The location provides care for 86 children aged 4 to 13 years in four base groups. The report presents a mixed picture: standards are met regarding pedagogical policy, staffing, persons register registration, and stability of care. However, two shortcomings were identified: implementation of the pedagogical policy and mentorship. Parents and children are not informed about who their mentor is, despite this being stated in the policy plan. This is a repeated violation that was also identified during previous inspections at other locations. No recovery offer has been made. In their response, the holder indicated they would pay extra attention to mentorship.
