About this care
Welcome to After-School Care St. Jozef, located inside St. Jozef primary school at Cuwaertstraat 2 in Nieuw Namen. Operated by Stichting Etuda Opvang, we provide after-school care for up to 20 children aged 4 to 12. Because the BSO is housed within the school building, children step straight into a familiar environment once classes end.
We run two horizontal core groups: one for younger children (4-7 years) and one for older children (8-12 years). This structure allows us to tailor activities and guidance to each age group. We follow the school’s continuous timetable, opening at 14:30 and closing at 17:30. Parents can extend care until 18:30 in 15-minute increments by contacting kindplanning@etuda.nl.
Our professional team of pedagogical staff offers an engaging after-school activity programme. Daily communication with parents takes place through the Kwieb app, which can be used to report absences and share photos. We remain open during school holidays and study days, ensuring year-round care.
At BSO St. Jozef, fun, play and development are central. We provide a safe, familiar place where children can be themselves and where parents and school work together to support every child’s optimal development.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: January 30, 2026
Strengths

- Adequate safety and health policy with risk assessment
- Spaces comfortably exceed surface area requirements (139.6 m² available versus 77.0 m² required)

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 30 January 2026 concerns an incidental investigation into Kindercentrum St. Jozef (after-school care/BSO) in Nieuw Namen, in the context of an application to expand the number of childcare places. The location wishes to transition from a combination group (16 places) to a separate after-school care (BSO) with 22 places in the school hallway. The inspection demonstrates that the provider meets all assessed quality requirements: changes have been correctly reported, the pedagogical policy is clear, the group structure complies with regulations, and the safety policy is adequate. The spaces meet the surface area requirements (139.6 m² available versus 77.0 m² required). However, two safety measures must still be implemented before care begins: securing electrical outlets in the hallway and installing cable ducting. The GGD advises the municipality of Hulst to grant the modification and to remove the link with the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in the LRK.
