About this care
Welcome to BSO Harlekijn, located at Pelgrimstraat 59D in the heart of Gaanderen. As part of Humankind, we provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 12. We work closely with primary school Gaanderwijs, situated right across from us, and with Wis & Wierig. This unique location, surrounded by nature, gives children plenty of space to unwind after school while discovering new things.
Our after-school care is open every weekday from 07:00 to 18:30. We start early with before-school care from 7 AM, allowing parents to head to work with peace of mind. After school, we pick up the children and begin our time for relaxation, play, and challenging activities. During holidays, we offer a special holiday program so children have a safe and fun place to go.
At BSO Harlekijn, outdoor play is central. The location is set in a green environment where children can run wild, build huts, and explore nature. We believe children develop best when given the freedom to be themselves and choose what they want to do. There is always something to experience, both indoors and outdoors.
We provide care for up to 44 children. Our experienced pedagogical staff ensure a safe and familiar environment where every child feels welcome. Thanks to our small scale, we know each child well and can respond to individual needs.
BSO Harlekijn is easily accessible and operates according to Humankind's vision: children are literally given the space to be themselves. We warmly invite you to come take a look and get to know our location.Read more

Summary
BSO Harlekijn in Gaanderen, part of Stichting Humankind, was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Noord- en Oost-Gelderland on 15 January 2026. The annual inspection showed that the location, with 44 childcare places for children aged 4 to 12 years, fully meets all assessed quality requirements. The pedagogical approach is well documented and correctly implemented by childcare professionals. The staff-to-child ratio was adequate at the time of inspection, with correct Certificate of Conduct (VOG) registrations and entries in the Persons Register for Childcare (PRK). The premises have sufficient indoor space (176.3 m²) and outdoor space (396 m²). The reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse is complete and up-to-date. Although renovations are currently underway resulting in one group room being minimally furnished, this does not pose any safety concern. No violations, areas for improvement, or recovery offers were identified.
