About this care

Welcome to BSO Opaal, located on the playground of Openbare Montessorischool De Mare at Grift 42 in Rotterdam. As part of gro-up childcare, we provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 12 in a familiar and safe environment. Our motto is β€œHelp me to do it myself,” inspired by the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori. We work with vertical groups where children of different ages play, learn and discover together. This not only supports their social development but also allows for individual growth. Our location consists of a spacious portocabin on the school playground, equipped with various play corners and materials. Children can choose from free play, creative activities, sports and games, or join one of the many workshops we organize. We also offer before-school care on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 07:30 to 08:30. We work closely with De Mare primary school, so children can go directly and safely to the after-school care after classes. We also collaborate with peuteropvang Sterresteen, allowing children to follow a continuous and familiar childcare path. During school holidays, we organize a special holiday program with themes such as β€œI can do it myself.” Think of trips to Madurodam, the beach, or a sports day with children from other gro-up locations. We believe it is important that children not only have fun but also learn and discover new things. Everything is done in consultation with parents, through our parent app and parent portal, so you are always informed about what your child is experiencing.

Violations
Approved after recovery

Strengths

  • Pedagogical practice provides emotional safety and stimulates development
  • Sufficient qualified staff present according to standards
  • Children are placed in stable core groups with a fixed mentor
  • Accommodation is safe and arranged in an age-appropriate manner

Shortcomings

  • Pedagogical policy: staff deployment (break times) was insufficiently described in concrete terms

Summary

BSO Opaal is an after-school care (BSO) in Rotterdam for up to 20 children aged 4-12, housed in a portable cabin on the schoolyard of primary school De Mare. The location operates according to the Montessori vision. During the annual inspection on 7 January 2025, it was established that the pedagogical practice, staff deployment, group structure and accommodation meet the legal requirements. There was one point for improvement: the pedagogical policy contained insufficiently concrete information about staff deployment. Following a recovery offer, the location guide has been supplemented and the location now meets all quality requirements. No violations were identified.
