Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) Haaglanden conducted an unannounced incidental inspection at after-school care (BSO) Sam en Verder in Den Haag on 12 August 2026. The inspection focused on the application for expansion from 11 to 22 childcare places. The location, part of M.E.M. Zorg, meets all assessed conditions for quality and compliance. The indoor space of 95.02 m² is sufficient for the expansion. There is no dedicated outdoor space, but the location makes use of a nearby park and petting zoo at a distance of 300 metres. All staff members hold the correct qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) and meet the IKK language requirement. The group structure is clear with two base groups (ages 4–7 and 7–13). No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
