Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected after-school care (BSO) Willem in Almere on 26 March 2026. The location meets all assessed legal requirements. There is a positive atmosphere, staff communicate respectfully with children, and the pedagogical practice is good. There are two points of attention: the KVK branch number had not yet been submitted to the municipality (now done according to the response), and the acoustics in the rooms are unpleasant, which may become particularly problematic at full capacity (22 children). The provider has indicated they will reconsider this after the summer holiday.
