About this care
BSO MAM's Berg en Bos is a warm, small-scale after-school care centre located inside the beautiful Berg en Bos primary school at Soerenseweg 105 in Apeldoorn-West. We welcome up to 33 children aged 4 to 12. Because we are literally inside the school building, children simply walk in after classes, staying in the familiar surroundings they already know and trust.
Our qualified pedagogical staff – we proudly call them our MAM’s Specialists – greet every child with a smile and a listening ear. After a busy school day we believe it is important that each child can choose what he or she needs most. One child may curl up with a book or start a craft project, while another challenges friends to a game of table football or explores the school’s nature garden together with us. We follow the children’s own initiatives; a simple idea can grow into a grand project. A recent autumn walk, for example, turned into a complete seasonal table filled with coloured leaves, pine cones and handmade artwork.
At MAM’s we focus on creating a home-like atmosphere. Our rooms are furnished as cosy living rooms with challenging toys and plenty of space to relax. Fruit and drinks are always available, and during holidays and teacher-training days we organise fun excursions to places such as the forest, a play forest or a creative venue in town. Parents stay informed through our MAM’s Parent App: a photo, a short report or a message about a new project lets you share in the fun wherever you are.
We work closely with Openbare Basisschool Berg en Bos. The school day ends at 2:00 p.m.; we take over from there. We are also open on school-free days and during school vacations, so you always have reliable care. Together we ensure that your child has a safe, enjoyable and stimulating place to grow, play and discover.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected BSO MAM's Berg en Bos in Apeldoorn on 30 March 2026. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates 44 children and is located in primary school OBS Berg en Bos. The pedagogical climate and accommodation are satisfactory. However, serious shortcomings were identified regarding Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG) and the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK) following a board member changeover. Three board members began their duties before being linked in the PRK, and one board member did not hold a valid VOG. The holder has since taken action to resolve this. The GGD advises enforcement and supports the requested expansion to 52 childcare places.
