About this care
Welcome to BSO De Zee, part of childcare organisation De Kikkerkoning. We are located in the communal hall of Brede School De Zon at Forum 8 in Elst. From this central spot we provide before- and after-school care for 180 children aged 4 to 12.
Our location makes full use of all the spaces the broad school has to offer. Both younger and older children enjoy our cosy children’s kitchen, where we regularly cook and bake together. Thanks to the direct link with primary schools De Wegwijzer, De Elstar and De Zonnepoort, we can collect the children from their classrooms after school and bring them to class on time in the morning.
After school there is plenty of room to play, discover and relax. We organise regular outings in the neighbourhood – think of a trip with the pull-cart to the village or a visit to the playground. In addition, De Kikkerkoning runs workshops within Brede School De Zon, such as sports and music activities, which are often free thanks to a subsidy from the municipality of Overbetuwe.
For parents who have to start work early, we offer before-school care: from 7.30 a.m. our pedagogical staff are ready to give the children a calm start to the day. Care can only be taken on a regular basis, so that we create a familiar group in which every child feels safe and seen.
BSO De Zee stands for a warm, family atmosphere in which children can be who they are. We work with experienced, enthusiastic staff who give their heart and soul for the children every day.

GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: February 16, 2026
Strengths
- The pedagogical policy is comprehensively documented and staff are familiar with its contents
- Staff are well-trained and properly inducted, including new employees
- The domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol is well implemented
- All staff hold a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and are registered in the persons register
- Complaints handling is well organized; the location holds a 'complaint-free certificate'
Violations
- No independent parent committee has been established at this location, as required by law. The operator uses a Central Parent Committee without legal basis. Despite repeated recovery offers in 2023 and 2025, this has not been resolved.
Summary
After-school care (BSO) De Zee in Elst, part of De Kikkerkoning childcare, was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 16 February 2026. The location provides care for 180 children from three primary schools. The inspection was an unannounced annual review. The location meets requirements on most aspects: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health all score well. One violation was identified: the location does not have its own parent committee, but operates with a Central Parent Committee (COC). This is legally required at each individual location. The operator received recovery offers in previous years (2023 and 2025), but the issue remains unresolved. The operator submitted a statement of opinion asserting that sufficient efforts have been made, but the inspector maintains the conclusion. The GGD advises enforcement.
