About this care
BSO Small Ones at Hoofdweg 409 H in Amsterdam West provides small-scale after-school care for up to 19 children aged 4 to 13. Located between the lively Bos en Lommer and Baarsjes districts, we are close to many primary schools. Our qualified staff welcome children after school in a homely group space arranged with various play and relaxation corners. We work in vertical groups, allowing children of different ages to play and learn together.
Personal development is at the heart of our approach. After a busy school day we offer calm and structure, homework support and creative activities such as arts and crafts, drawing and building. Children can also enjoy outdoor play in our secure courtyard and we regularly use nearby playgrounds. We encourage children to share their own ideas and learn to respect one another.
Parents experience our service as an extension of their own living room. We communicate openly, are always ready for a chat or phone call, and keep parents informed through a parent portal. Holiday and study days are included, so parents can rely on us all year round. Feel welcome to visit for a tour and experience the warm atmosphere of BSO Small Ones yourself.Read more

Summary
BSO Small Ones at Hoofdweg 409 H in Amsterdam provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 19 children. During the unannounced annual inspection visit on 25 July 2025, it was established that all statutory quality requirements are met. The location operates with a clear pedagogical policy, two new but well-supported staff members, and a safety plan that includes having two first-aiders present daily. Children experience a warm, emotionally safe climate; activities are tailored to their interests and development. Minor points of attention are that mentor children will only be assigned in September and that the on-call contact number was not immediately findable. No violations were identified.
