Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 6 October 2025 at after-school care (BSO) Leidse Houtschool, Lekker Los in Leiden shows predominantly positive results. The location meets the quality requirements for pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and parental rights. A relaxed atmosphere was observed, children were given free choice in activities, and there was sufficient and varied play material. Staff hold the correct qualifications, Certificates of Good Conduct (VOG), and the number of qualified professionals is adequate. There are stable base groups with a mentor for each child. One violation was identified: the safety and health policy was not fully adhered to because staff bags were not stored in a locked cabinet. Following a recovery offer, the organisation amended its policy, installed a locked cabinet, and placed this topic on the agenda on a structural basis. The violation has thereby been resolved. The GGD advises no enforcement.
