About this care

AI
BSO Struin West is located at Henry Dunantstraat 8 in Nijmegen-West and is part of Struin, an organization that offers children unforgettable nature experiences. Our West branch is a nature-based after-school care facility with the Lanteerne as our shelter location. We provide care for up to 28 children aged 4 to 12 years. At Struin West, we believe that children should have the freedom to play freely in nature. Our activities are always inspired by what the environment, seasons, and weather have to offer. Children can build huts and climb trees, roast chestnuts on a self-made fire, catch fish with a large landing net, search for beavers, make flower bouquets and grass wreaths, complete survival courses, catch mice with a 'live trap', make herb butter from spring plants, play tag and hide-and-seek in the forest, create musical instruments, find peace in nature, and play freely in the forest with friends. Our pedagogical approach is based on nature education. We give children the chance to truly play freely in nature and teach them about the natural environment in a playful way. We work with small groups so that each child receives the attention they deserve and so that we can provide safe outdoor care. BSO Struin West has been officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 186355828 since September 19, 2016. We can be reached at west@struin.nl or by phone at 06-13674386.

  • Pedagogical policy is concrete and compliant, with clear age group divisions
  • The location has a strong pedagogical vision with a focus on nature and outdoor care
  • The operator correctly followed up on the change request after receiving a recovery offer

Violations

  • During the annual inspection on 10 November 2025, it was found that the location was caring for more children in practice than the registered 28 childcare places; a recovery offer was issued for this

Summary

GGD Gelderland-Zuid inspected BSO Struin West in Nijmegen on 26 January 2026 following a change request to expand the number of childcare places from 28 to 50. This concerns an after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 12, part of Stichting Humankind, with a focus on nature-based care. The inspection assessed the change in the number of children, the pedagogical policy, and the accommodation requirements. The location was found to have cared for more children in the past than registered, for which a recovery offer was issued. The operator has since submitted the change request. The indoor and outdoor spaces meet the requirements for 50 children. The pedagogical policy is in order, although a new policy plan is in preparation. The GGD advises the municipality to grant the change in the LRK.
