Summary

BSO Buitenrijk in Houten (Stichting Kind & Co Ludens) received an unannounced incidental inspection on 21 July 2025 regarding a planned expansion. The location provides care for a maximum of 88 of the 137 registered childcare places across 4 groups for children aged 4–12. All assessed areas – change notification, pedagogical policy, and space requirements – were rated as 'compliant'. The holder reported the change neatly and directly, the pedagogical policy plan and work plan comply with the law, and both the 6 indoor play areas (383 m²) and the after-school playground offer more than adequate safe and accessible square metres per child. No shortcomings, violations, or areas for improvement were identified. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Houten not to take enforcement action.
