Summary

The annual unannounced inspection on 10 March 2026 at BSO Weltevredenstraat in Haarlem presents a predominantly positive picture. The after-school care (BSO), located at Vrije School Kennemerland and operating according to anthroposophical pedagogy, meets almost all quality requirements. One violation was identified: the absence of a mandatory parent committee. The provider has demonstrably made efforts to recruit parents, but despite repeated attempts this has not succeeded. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to enforce action given these mitigating circumstances. Several points for improvement in the safety and health policy were discussed and will be addressed by the provider.
