Summary

Elorah Staphorst is an after-school care (BSO) facility with 18 childcare places, located within the Willem de Zwijgerschool primary school. The inspection on 10 March 2026 was an unannounced investigation following registration. The location generally meets the quality requirements well. There was one violation: the staff member was not aware of the childcare confidential inspector and the procedures for the duty to report, consult, and notify. This shortcoming has been resolved through a recovery offer. There are two areas for attention: the merging of daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and after-school care (BSO) must be described in the operational plan if it occurs on a structural basis, and the operational plan incorrectly states 22 rather than 18 childcare places. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
