RIANT Rosalind Franklinweg

Strengths

Shortcomings

• The description of base groups in the pedagogical work plan needs to be revised (currently described across 2 locations, but registration concerns 1 location)
• Preventive measures in the safety and health policy are not sufficiently detailed throughout
• Information about the safety and health policy for parents is not directly accessible (available only upon request); provider is considering placing it in the parent portal
• The surface area of the central space must be precisely determined upon further inspection
• The layout of indoor spaces and outdoor play area must be assessed upon further inspection
• Diploma extracts of childcare professionals lack an authenticity certificate (must still be provided)

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Almere to register after-school care (BSO) RIANT Rosalind Franklinweg with 42 places. This is a new after-school care facility for children aged 4 to 13, located in an Integrated Child Center together with primary school de Woudreus and a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV). The inspection took place during the summer holiday, meaning the spaces were not yet fully set up. The provider, RIANT Kinderopvang B.V., is an experienced organization with multiple locations. Several points for attention were identified that will be reassessed during further inspection.
