About this care
BSO DOEgroen is part of the Stichting Democratisch Onderwijs Eindhoven foundation and is located on the grounds of DOE040 democratic elementary school at Blaarthemseweg 83 in Veldhoven. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 13 who are enrolled at our democratic elementary school. Our BSO fully aligns with DOE040's vision: children are given the freedom to make their own choices and learn to discover their talents naturally.
Our childcare facility utilizes the classrooms and spacious outdoor area of the school. Additionally, we work closely with a nearby children's farm where children can play among chickens and small animals. Outdoor life is central to our approach: we provide ample space for children to explore, play and learn in the natural environment.
We operate with three horizontal age groups: the Binky's for children aged 4-13 (maximum 22 children), the Boefjes for 7-13 years (maximum 24 children), and the Banjers for 4-13 years (maximum 22 children). Children aged 4-6 are welcome from 15:00 onwards, while older children can come directly after school. After 16:00, when no more education is provided, all children are in our care.
Our pedagogical approach is based on equality and freedom. Children learn in a self-directed manner and can participate in decisions about how they spend their time at BSO. We create a safe and stimulating environment where every child can be themselves and grow at their own pace.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: May 28, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical policy and practice meet all requirements, with a strong focus on emotional safety and personal development
- Staff members know the children well, address them personally, and respond to individual needs
- Good staff-child ratio and sufficient qualified personnel
- Pedagogical policy officer is present weekly for coaching and guidance
- Children are encouraged to make their own choices and contribute ideas about their learning environment
- Parent committee is active and satisfied with the care provided
Shortcomings
- Procedure for registration and linking of employees in the childcare persons register must be structurally safeguarded
- Pedagogical policy officer must receive coaching and describe this in policy (deadline: 31 December 2026)
- Presence of children aged 13+ during after-school care (BSO) requires further elaboration in the pedagogical work plan
Violations
- Certificate of conduct (VOG) and childcare persons register: one staff member was not linked to the holder in the persons register in time, and an intern was not registered and linked before starting work (resolved via recovery offer)
- Parent committee regulations: missing provision that changes only take place after approval by the parent committee, and missing concrete description of election procedure for members (resolved via recovery offer)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected BSO DOEgroen of Stichting Democratisch Onderwijs Eindhoven on 28 May 2026. The after-school care (BSO) at Blaarthemseweg 83 in Veldhoven accommodates 72 children aged 4 to 13, divided across three base groups. The location is linked to democratic school DOE040 and is characterised by extensive outdoor activities at the 'Doederij'. The pedagogical climate and most aspects of personnel, groups, and parental rights comply with the law. Two violations were identified that were resolved through a recovery offer: a staff member and intern were not linked in the childcare persons register in time, and the parent committee regulations lacked required provisions on amendment procedures and election of members. Both violations have since been resolved. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
