About this care
BSO Violinde is a small-scale after-school care facility located within Vrije School Valentijn at Vliepad 1 in Harderwijk. We provide care for children aged 4 to 13 years in two age groups: the small BSO for children aged 4-7 and the large BSO for children aged 7-12. Our BSO is open every weekday from 12:45 to 18:00.
We work from an anthroposophical worldview where imitation, rest, rhythm and repetition, respect, reverence and gratitude are central. Children play in a warm, homely environment with toys made from natural materials. We provide organic-biodynamic food as much as possible. Our beautiful outdoor space, safely surrounded by the school, allows children to experience nature and the elements.
We receive children from Vrije School Valentijn and other schools in the area. Each afternoon, two qualified permanent supervisors are present to guide the children in their development. Parents can register their child for one or more fixed afternoons per week.Read more

Summary
The annual inspection of 8 June 2026 of after-school care (BSO) Violinde in Harderwijk showed that the location complies with all assessed quality requirements following a recovery offer. The inspection focused on pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. Two violations were identified, both of which were resolved through a recovery offer: the pedagogical policy contained incorrect descriptions of the staff-to-child ratio and lacked frameworks for deviations, and the safety and health policy lacked a description of risks regarding litter from loitering youths. The holder has amended both policy documents and now complies with the law. Other aspects such as staff qualifications, domestic violence reporting protocol, complaints procedure, and parental rights complied immediately. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
