Summary

After-school care (BSO) de Zeesterren in Urk has been inspected for registration in the National Childcare Register (LRK). The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises registration with 60 childcare places (instead of the 66 applied for) because the provider operates with two core groups of a maximum of 30 children each. The location generally meets the quality requirements. The pedagogical policy has been developed, the accommodation is suitably arranged, and there are good provisions for parent participation and complaints handling. However, there are several points of attention: the safety and health policy is not yet complete for the second group and the atelier, and the outdoor area is still under construction. These items will be followed up at the post-registration inspection.
