Summary

After-school care (BSO) De Duizendpoot in Oosterhout was inspected on 1 June 2026 by GGD West-Brabant. The care facility accommodates a maximum of 60 children aged 4 to 13 years. The location meets the statutory requirements in the areas of pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. However, one violation was identified: the mandatory parent committee is missing. The location manager has made demonstrable sufficient efforts to recruit parents, but with 56 children, the exception rule for small locations does not apply. There are mitigating circumstances due to the efforts made and alternative forms of parent involvement. The GGD advises the municipality not to enforce.
