About this care

AI
Welcome to BSO Kleine Ark, located inside primary school In de Lichtkring at Naarderweg 2, Zeewolde. We are a small-scale, Christian after-school care centre where children aged 4 to 12 can play, explore and relax in safety after the school day ends. Our qualified staff welcome the children straight after school in our dedicated space within the school. The afternoon starts with a shared moment: a chat over fresh fruit and a drink. Then there is plenty of time for outdoor play in the playground and nearby green areas, including the school garden and sports fields. Indoors we offer activities that match the children’s world of experience: crafts, cooking, construction, sports and games, and creative projects. Twice a week a warm, nutritious meal is served, prepared with fresh ingredients. Older children can use a quiet corner for homework or reading, supported by our staff when needed. We regularly organise outings to the local playground, the woods or cultural sites in and around Zeewolde. Our groups are organised by age: one group for 4-7 year olds and one for 7-12 year olds, allowing us to tailor activities to each child’s developmental stage. The school entrance provides a safe and controlled entry point; parents check their child in via the intercom system. We work closely with the teachers of In de Lichtkring to ensure a smooth transition from school to after-school care. Feel free to visit us for a tour and experience the warm, homely atmosphere of BSO Kleine Ark.

  • Each child has a fixed mentor; care provided in stable core groups of maximum 14 children.
  • Spacious, safe and challenging indoor and outdoor areas with age-appropriate materials.
  • Safety and health policy is up to date and evaluated annually.

Shortcomings

  • Description of staff-to-child ratio at location level and distribution across groups was completed following recovery offer.
  • Measures regarding children's allergies have now been documented in the safety policy.

Summary

BSO Kleine Ark in Zeewolde was inspected unannounced on 14 January 2025. Following recovery from two policy shortcomings, the location now meets all statutory requirements. The after-school care (BSO) offers 28 places for children aged 4-13 in two core groups, based at primary school De Lichtkring. The inspection found a safe and stimulating pedagogical climate, sufficiently qualified staff, and spacious, child-friendly accommodation with both indoor and outdoor play areas. Minor shortcomings in the pedagogical policy (staff-to-child ratio description) and safety policy (allergy measures) were corrected within two weeks of the recovery offer dated 4 March 2025. No violations remain open. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
