Summary

The annual inspection of 13 July 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Ons Ark in Eindhoven shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets the quality requirements regarding staff, groups, and pedagogical practice. There were three violations in the pedagogical policy, concerning missing descriptions of the staff-child ratio, frameworks for deviation from this ratio, and the nature of activities where children leave the base group. The holder has remedied these violations through a recovery offer. The pedagogical practice scores well: children feel emotionally safe, there is attention for personal and social development, and the group spaces are set up in a challenging way. The staff is well-trained and registered. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
