Summary

GGD Kennemerland investigated the registration application for after-school care (BSO) Knutselkookclub Zaanenschool in Haarlem on 21 May 2026. The BSO accommodates a maximum of 20 children aged 4 to 13 years, with cooking and craft activities as its central theme. The location uses a kitchen, atrium, and play/dining area, and uses the school playground for outdoor play. The inspection assessed the application positively: the daycare center reasonably meets the quality requirements. No violations were identified. However, a point of attention was identified regarding the inspection of the play equipment in the outdoor play area, where it was unclear whether this had been inspected by a designated body (AKI). The operator has committed to arranging this and amending the safety policy; this will be further assessed during the post-registration inspection. The parent committee has not yet been established, but the operator has until 1 December 2026 to do so.
