About this care
SamSam BSO Marcanti 496 is a professional after-school care facility located in the heart of Amsterdam-West. We provide care for up to 46 children aged 4 to 12 years. Our location is a large workshop where children are free to work and will never be bored. We encourage children to use all their senses: making music, cooking, building, and hammering. We regularly explore the neighborhood parks and give children space to retreat and relax. We let them marvel, explore, and build with old materials and real tools. At SamSam, we encourage children to color outside the lines because growing up also means exploring boundaries and making discoveries.
We work with several local schools and provide pickup services from De Rijk Kramer (Nassaukade), De Waterkant, De St Jan, De Meidoorn, and De Admiraal de Ruyterschool. Our pedagogical staff are trained to guide children in their development and provide them with a safe, familiar environment after school. We are open 52 weeks a year from Monday to Friday, 15:00 to 18:15. During school holidays and study days, we offer extended programs with age-appropriate activities.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: April 23, 2026
Strengths
- Operator implemented measures in a timely and adequate manner
- New 'Personnel Register Procedure' established for all organisations under Samenwerkende Kinderopvang
- All 17 temporary staff members in the review period correctly linked one day before their shift began
- Clear allocation of responsibilities with step-by-step plan and final accountability assigned to the location manager
Shortcomings
- Staff stability needs to be improved; heavy reliance on temporary staff (17 different individuals in 14 days) is concerning
- Location manager was unaware of his monitoring responsibility; internal communication about procedures needs strengthening
- Procedure must be continuously evaluated in practice for bottlenecks
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Amsterdam conducted a follow-up investigation on 23 April 2026 at SamSam BSO Marcanti 496, an after-school care (BSO) facility for 46 children (ages 4-13) in Amsterdam. The investigation focused on compliance with a municipal direction regarding the timely linking of staff members in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang/PRK). This direction followed a violation identified during the annual inspection in December 2025, when a temporary staff member had not been properly linked. The operator has taken the required measures in a timely manner: establishing a new procedure, clearly assigning responsibilities, and correctly linking all 17 temporary staff members in the review period one day before their shift began. The inspector found no remaining violations. However, it was noted that staff stability is under pressure: over 14 care days, 17 different temporary staff members were deployed, with only one permanent staff member present on 4 days. This affects children's emotional safety and developmental monitoring.
