Mijn Tweede Thuis

Strengths

• Relaxed, open atmosphere in the group with mutual respect between children and staff
• Sufficient and appropriate play materials for different ages and developmental areas
• All involved adults correctly registered in the Childcare Persons Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang)

Violations

• Staff-to-child ratio exceeded on six occasions due to deployment of exclusively BBL students (since remedied as of 10-11-2025)

Summary

BSO Mijn Tweede Thuis in Dordrecht received an unannounced annual inspection visit on 27 August 2025. The pedagogical quality is in order: the pedagogical policy is implemented well, there is a relaxed atmosphere, and there is sufficient appropriate play material. However, two violations were identified for which a recovery offer was made and accepted. First, the staff-to-child ratio was not in order on six occasions because only staff in training (BBL students) were deployed, while at most half of the team may consist of such trainees. Second, two children had been assigned a BBL student as their mentor, while only qualified staff members may fulfil this role. The organisation submitted new schedules and a mentor list showing that as of 10 November 2025, both rules are being complied with. The inspection advises the municipality not to take enforcement action.
