About this care
BSO De Fruitboom is located at Kruisakkers 4 in the centre of Elst and provides after-school care for up to 64 children aged 4 to 13. The site is part of Stichting Kinderopvang Arnhem en Regio (SKAR), an organisation with more than 60 locations in the region that has been offering warm, safe and challenging childcare for over 25 years.
We collect children from various primary schools in Elst and the surrounding area and offer them a familiar place where they can relax, play and discover after school. Our pedagogical staff are ready with personal attention and encourage children to take the initiative in activities. We believe that children learn best by doing and experiencing. That is why we offer a wide range of activities, tailored to the interests and developmental stage of each child.
Our spacious group rooms and sheltered outdoor play area invite movement, play and being together. We work with permanent staff who know the children well and provide a familiar base. We also offer holiday care during school-free days, organising outings and extra activities.
BSO De Fruitboom has been officially registered since 2 January 2010 and is known for its homely atmosphere and committed approach. We believe it is important that children can be themselves and enjoy coming to the after-school care. Parents are welcome for a personal tour and an informal introductory meeting.Read more

Summary
BSO De Fruitboom in Elst, part of Skar B.V., was inspected unannounced by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 28 July 2026. The after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13 meets all assessed quality requirements: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. During the inspection, two points for attention were identified: nettles in the outdoor play area originating from municipal grounds, and children obtaining drinking water from a tap in the toilet area. Both points were discussed and addressed immediately. The location manager had the nettles removed and temporarily directed children to another part of the garden. The team was also informed that drinking water must come from the kitchen or pantry, not from the toilet area. No violations were established and no recovery offer was issued.
