BSO Mundo de Singel

Strengths

• The pedagogical policy is in order and appropriately described
• The safety and health policy is up to date and being followed
• The outdoor play area of 390 m² is sufficient and well-designed as a nature and discovery garden
• The holder responds adequately to findings and adjusts group composition

Shortcomings

• New group rooms must be set up safely and appropriately, particularly because one room will be shared with toddler care
• A risk assessment must be carried out as soon as the new group rooms are furnished
• The furnishing of new group rooms will be included in the next annual inspection

Violations

• Insufficient indoor play space for 66 childcare places: the available 230 m² accommodates a maximum of 65 children, whereas 3.5 m² per child is required (Article 1.50(1) and (2) of the Childcare Act; Article 19(2) of the Childcare Quality Decree)

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected after-school care (BSO) Mundo de Singel on 23 July 2026 following an application to increase the number of childcare places from 33 to 66. The pedagogical policy, safety and health policy, and outdoor play area meet the requirements. However, it was found that the available indoor space of 230 m² is insufficient for 66 places; there is space for a maximum of 65 places (minimum 3.5 m² per child required). The holder has adjusted the group composition accordingly. The new group rooms had not yet been furnished at the time of the visit. The GGD advises the municipality to reject the change to 66 places and instead permit 65 places.
