About this care

AI
BSO De Kantine is located in a former korfball clubhouse at Enk 192 in the Vreewijk district of Rotterdam. What stands out is the enormous outdoor play area with grass, artificial turf, and an asphalt field for sports and play. Inside, the cheerful colors used in the decoration and the view of the sports fields catch the eye. There is also an atelier where children can fully express themselves. BSO De Kantine is a 4+ BSO; the youngest children are cared for here. This creates a safe and pleasant environment for this group. The transition to BSO Buitengewoon takes place when children are between 7 and 8 years old. There is a transition protocol for this. BSO Buitengewoon is located next to BSO De Kantine and the children play together on the sports complex. By splitting the age groups, children are offered age-appropriate activities. Parent involvement is very important to us. We have an active parent committee that functions as a district parent committee for the Vreewijk district. Parents from BSO Buitengewoon and Kindcentrum Vreewijk are also part of this parent committee. The children are picked up on foot by the pedagogical staff from school (OBS de Mare and Paus Joannesschool). At BSO De Kantine, children never get bored, even during holidays. Every day, children participate in fun and challenging activities around various themes. During Christmas and summer holidays, BSO De Kantine is combined with BSO Vreewijk and BSO Buitengewoon into BSO Vakantieland.

Violations
The provider meets most quality requirements. One requirement is not in order: the parent committee is missing. Previous violations regarding the indoor climate have been largely resolved, but follow-up inspection is needed.

Strengths

  • Pedagogical policy and practice are well developed and in order
  • Staff have the correct qualifications and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)
  • Staff-to-child ratio is correct
  • Safety and health policy is comprehensive and up to date
  • Domestic violence and child abuse reporting code is well implemented
  • Accommodation is safely and appropriately furnished
  • Information provision to parents is adequate

Shortcomings

  • Further indoor climate measures during warm weather to be awaited and evaluated
  • Parent committee to continue being recruited and established

Violations

  • Missing parent committee despite obligation with more than 50 placement agreements

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an annual inspection on 4 March 2026 at after-school care (BSO) De Kantine in Rotterdam, part of KindeRdam Kinderopvang B.V. The location provides care for 40 children aged 4 to 7.5 years. Most quality requirements were found to be in order, including pedagogical policy, staff qualifications, safety policy, and accommodation. One violation was identified: the mandatory parent committee is missing. However, there are mitigating circumstances, as the provider offers alternative consultation through email consultation. Previous violations from 2025 regarding the indoor climate have been largely resolved through measures such as sun blinds, ventilation, and a heat protocol, although further improvement is still being pursued.
