Summary

Hero BSO Generaal Spoorlaan in Haarlem was inspected on 19 March 2026 by GGD Kennemerland (Municipal Health Service Kennemerland). The after-school care (BSO) accommodates 80 children aged 4 to 13. The location meets most of the assessed quality requirements, including the pedagogical climate and declarations of conduct. There are two points of non-compliance: a temporary worker did not hold the required professional qualification (only 101 of 240 ECTS credits completed), and no parent committee has been established despite more than 50 children being placed. The operator has demonstrated sufficient efforts to recruit parent committee members and involves parents in an alternative manner. No recovery offer was made for these violations. The previous inspection (December 2024) had a recovery offer for the pedagogical policy, which has been successfully completed.
