Summary

This inspection report concerns a post-registration investigation of after-school care (BSO) de Prinsenhof in Apeldoorn, conducted on 23 March 2026. The location provides care for a maximum of 14 children aged 4 to 12 years on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday in the school buildings of De Prinsenhof. The inspection was carried out unannounced within three months of the start of care. Although the pedagogical practice, personnel matters, accommodation, and parental rights were found to be in order, there were shortcomings in the pedagogical policy and the safety and health policy. A recovery offer was made for both areas, which the holder accepted and successfully completed within the set deadline. Following recovery, the location meets all assessed requirements. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
