Summary

BSO De Pinkeltjes/De parel in Assen (Kloosterveen) provides after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4–12. On 14 July 2025, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) investigated whether the location is safe and offers sufficient space following a request to reduce the number of childcare places from 48 to 34. All assessed areas — change procedure, pedagogical policy, and space requirements — were met. The measurement confirms that the available indoor space (approximately 120 m²) is more than sufficient for a maximum of 34 children. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The operator agrees with the findings. The municipality is advised to approve the request for change in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang).
