About this care
We are Figaro, an after-school care (BSO) located in the broad school Batter at Middengouw 19 in the heart of Ursem. From our colourful, spacious premises we provide care for children aged 4 to 13. The modern building also houses primary schools De Langereis and De Bavo-school as well as the local library. These close partnerships allow us to use extra facilities such as the library and gymnasiums, so that children can play, discover and relax in a familiar, safe environment straight after school.
At Figaro we work with two horizontal age groups: the Panthers (4-7 years) and the Jaguars (7-13 years). This division ensures that activities and play perfectly match each child’s developmental stage. Our pedagogical staff offer warm, structured care with room for both relaxation and challenge. After school, children can unwind with a biscuit and a drink, followed by a varied activity programme: from sports and games in the gym to quiet reading in the library. We believe it is important that children feel free to make choices and thus discover and develop their own interests.
Our location has been officially registered in the National Childcare Register since 2 June 2014 under number 167352659 and offers places for up to 44 children. Figaro is part of Stichting Kinderopvang West-Friesland, an organisation with over 40 years of experience in providing professional childcare in the region. We are open from 7.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m., allowing parents to make flexible use of our before-school (VSO) and after-school care (BSO). We look forward to welcoming your child to our safe, colourful and inspiring environment!Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: August 7, 2025
Strengths
- Pedagogical practice: staff engage in good dialogue with children and respond to their individual situations
- Staff are familiar with the program and actively guide children in learning agreements
- Clear rituals during activities such as birthday celebrations
- Correct registration of staff in the Childcare Personnel Register (Personenregister Kinderopvang)
- Good reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse with step-by-step plan and decision-making framework
- Active and well-informed parent committee with combined composition for after-school care (BSO) and daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV)
Violations
- The safety and health policy was not up to date for the after-school care (BSO); risks were primarily focused on the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) and not tailored to the target group of the BSO
Summary
BSO Figaro in Ursem, part of Stichting Kinderopvang West-Friesland, was inspected on 7 August 2025. The location provides care for 44 children aged 4 to 13 years in two base groups. Initially, not all requirements were met due to an outdated safety and health policy that was primarily focused on the daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) rather than the after-school care (BSO). Following a recovery offer with a deadline of 1 week, the policy was supplemented with BSO-specific risks and the requirements were subsequently met. The pedagogical practice, staff registration, reporting code, and parent rights are well in order. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
