About this care
BSO de Ontdekkingsreizigers is part of Kindcentrum De Ontdekkingsreizigers in the new Gouda district of Westergouwe. We provide before- and after-school care for children aged 4 to 12. After school, development continues and we support children playfully. We have a large gym, a playground and beautiful classrooms with diverse play materials. Our staff make every day a celebration.
Children are free to choose what they want to do. We ensure a different activity is offered each time. After school we sit together and enjoy various fruits with water or tea. Around 5:00 PM we have a cracker or whatever was prepared during a cooking activity. Especially for older children from 8 years old, we regularly cycle to Scouting Moordrecht to discover nature, jump ditches, build huts and climb trees. During holidays we offer an adapted holiday program with fun outings and activities.
Our pedagogical approach focuses on discovering talents and providing a safe, challenging learning environment. We pick up children from nearby primary schools and work together with parents on the development of each child. Feel free to come by for a tour and experience how we make every day a discovery journey!Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: April 8, 2025
Strengths
- Relaxed, positive atmosphere and emotionally safe environment
- Sensitive and responsive pedagogical staff
- Clear rules and value transmission
- Sufficiently qualified staff and correct staffing ratios
- Current safety and health policy in place
Shortcomings
- Pedagogical policy plan supplemented with description of voluntary exchange of children between groups for balanced occupancy
Summary
BSO Ontdekkingsreizigers in Gouda provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 120 children aged 4–13. The inspection of 8 April 2025 concludes that the location meets all statutory quality requirements following a minor adjustment. The pedagogical staff provide a safe and stimulating environment, are sensitive and approachable, and work according to clear rules. The staff are well-trained, occupancy is in order, and the safety and health policy is up to date. One area for improvement was that the pedagogical policy plan did not precisely describe how children may sometimes voluntarily move to another group to balance occupancy; this has been added following the recovery offer. No violations remain. The municipality is advised not to take additional enforcement action.
