De Kornuiten

Strengths

• Pedagogical practice is good: children experience emotional safety and security
• Staff guide children sensitively and encourage cooperation
• Activities are challenging and appropriate for different age groups
• Sufficient qualified staff present according to required ratios
• All employees registered in the Childcare Personnel Register with valid Certificate of Conduct (VOG)
• An adult with a valid first aid (EHBO) certificate always present

Shortcomings

• Pedagogical policy plan must describe more concretely how staff stimulate children's development
• Daily structure and working methods of base groups must be described more thoroughly
• Distribution of staff across base groups must be recorded more concretely
• Cross-location care on school-free days must be described less loosely
• Policy for deviating from staff-child ratios must be formulated more sharply
• Ventilation and indoor climate must be monitored and documented better
• Thermometers must be present and working in all rooms
• Functioning of installed climate systems must be clear

Violations

• Pedagogical policy plan does not meet legal requirements: insufficiently concrete description of responsible childcare, base group working methods, staff deployment, deviating from staff-child ratios (BKR), activities for groups larger than 30 children, and cross-location care
• Safety and health policy does not correspond with reality: insufficient ventilation options in multiple rooms, uncertainty about climate system functioning, missing working thermometers, insufficient data on air quality

Summary

After-school care (BSO) De Kornuiten in Emmeloord, part of Stichting Jokidé, was inspected on 21 July 2026 by Municipal Health Service (GGD) Flevoland. The location with 57 childcare places does not meet all assessed requirements. The pedagogical practice is positive: children experience emotional safety, staff provide good guidance, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. However, two important shortcomings have been identified. The pedagogical policy plan contains insufficiently concrete descriptions of working methods, base groups, staff deployment, and cross-location care. The safety and health policy also does not match reality: in various rooms there is insufficient ventilation and no working thermometers are present. The holder submitted a response with additions, but the supervisory authority maintains its assessment. No enforcement was advised for coaching due to a small difference in hours.
