Summary

After-school care (BSO) Rijm geheim at Waalstraat 251 in Utrecht was inspected unannounced on 6 May 2025. The location meets all assessed quality requirements under the Childcare Act. Of the 80 registered places, 44 are in use; the provider has submitted a change request to officially reduce to 44 places. The staff-to-child ratio is more than adequate, all employees are registered with a valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG), and children are placed in stable core groups with a fixed mentor. The indoor and outdoor spaces are sufficiently large and safe. During the visit, the group rooms were cluttered and not arranged in a child-friendly manner; following a recovery offer within two weeks, the rooms have been tidied, missing play materials have been replenished, and a sustainable plan has been made to maintain order. No violations remain identified. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement measures.
