Summary

This inspection report concerns BSO Springkanjers in Meerkerk, a new after-school care (BSO) location operated by Stichting Dichtbij Kinderopvang with a maximum of 12 childcare places for children aged 4 to 8 years. The inspection took place on 2 July 2026 for registration in the National Childcare Register. The location generally meets the statutory quality requirements. There was one point of attention: the pedagogical policy plan lacked a description of cross-location care and assignment to base groups. The holder remedied this by submitting a revised plan on 20 July 2026. All other areas (general terms and conditions, personnel, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights) are compliant. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality to include the location in the National Childcare Register.
