Strengths

• Good stability of care with fixed base groups and mentors per child
• Sufficient coaching and professional development of staff members
• Safe and appropriately furnished premises with sufficient indoor and outdoor space

Shortcomings

• Additional attention needed for hygiene during food-related creative activities with children, specifically preventing children from putting their fingers in their mouths and continuing to decorate biscuits

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Noord- en Oost-Gelderland on 2 February 2026 shows that BSO MAM's Kinderopvang De KWS in Apeldoorn meets all quality requirements. The after-school care (BSO), located in basisschool Koningin Wilhelminaschool with 29 childcare places, offers a pedagogically sound environment in which children feel emotionally safe and are stimulated in their development. There are two fixed group rooms and use of the school gymnasium and outdoor space. The location is growing due to new intake of young schoolchildren. All assessed domains – pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, premises and parental rights – meet the statutory requirements. One point for attention was identified during a biscuit decorating activity, where children put their fingers with icing in their mouths and continued decorating, which carries hygiene risks. The provider has discussed this with the team and intends to provide better guidance in future.
