Elorah Krimpen aan den IJssel Calvijnschool

Strengths

• Complete and accurate administration with clear parent agreements
• Sensitive and responsive pedagogical practice with respect for children's autonomy
• Good staff knowledge of the domestic violence and child abuse reporting protocol
• Sufficient staff-to-child ratio and appropriate deployment of personnel
• Up-to-date safety and health policy with regular evaluation and training
• Clear information provision to parents via the website

Shortcomings

• The group room shares the premises with a toddler group; the furnishings and play materials are primarily geared toward toddlers and young after-school care children. More age-appropriate play materials for older after-school care children would be desirable
• New staff members need to engage more thoroughly with the pedagogical policy; this is offered through the digital learning environment but requires explicit follow-up

Summary

The inspection report of 13 April 2026 concerns a post-registration investigation at Elorah Krimpen aan den IJssel Calvijnschool, an after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 13 years with 15 childcare places. The location is part of Stichting Kibeo and is housed in the Johannes Calvijnschool. All assessed quality requirements were found to be in order, including administration, pedagogical policy and practice, personnel matters, safety and health, accommodation and parental rights. The pedagogical practice demonstrates sensitive and responsive practice, with room for children's choices and autonomy. There is one notable situation: a staff member has three own children at the childcare, which sometimes leads to difficult situations between pedagogical practice and parenting. The location manager has indicated that this staff member will be swapped with a colleague from the same provider. The accommodation shares a space with a toddler group; the furnishings are primarily geared toward toddlers and young after-school care children, for which more age-appropriate play materials would be desirable. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
