About this care
BSO De Noorderborch is part of Stichting Varietas and is located in the same building as primary school De Noorderborch at Havezathe 99 in Almelo. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 12 who attend primary school. Our childcare is situated within the school building, ensuring a smooth transition from school to after-school care in a familiar environment.
Our BSO aims to offer children a safe, challenging and homely place after school where they can relax, play and further develop. We work closely with the school and align our activities with the school calendar. During study days and school holidays, we remain open so parents can rely on our care throughout the year.
We provide care before school (VSO) and after school (NSO) in collaboration with the school. Children can come to us for rest and relaxation, as well as for sports and creative activities. We regularly organize outings and excursions, making use of the Schelfhorst and Almelo area. During holidays, we offer a varied program with fun activities.
Communication with parents is conducted through the Klasbord app and email. We believe it's important for parents to stay involved in their child's development and keep them informed through newsletters and the parent portal. Our pedagogical staff are ready to give children a great time after school and guide them in their free time.Read more

Summary
BSO De Noorderborch in Almelo, part of Stichting Kinderopvang Varietas, was inspected by GGD Twente on 16 March 2026. The location with 60 childcare places meets all assessed conditions following a recovery offer. The pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, and accommodation were evaluated. The pedagogical practice shows strong points: staff know children personally, communicate respectfully and sensitively, provide individual attention, and maintain clear rules and structures. There was one violation: the pedagogical policy plan lacked sufficient concrete description of the maximum size and age composition of base groups for 60 children. Following a recovery offer, the provider submitted a revised policy on 24 March 2026, resolving the shortcoming. All other areas met requirements immediately. The advice to the municipality of Almelo is: no enforcement action.
