Summary

Hero BSO Nieuwe Gracht in Haarlem was inspected on 28 April 2026 by GGD Kennemerland. The unannounced annual investigation shows that the after-school care (BSO) meets all assessed quality requirements. The location provides care for 60 children aged 4 to 13. The pedagogical policy is well implemented and there are sufficient qualified staff. There was one point of attention: the mid-day service during school weeks had not yet been described in the pedagogical work plan, but this has since been amended. No violations were identified and no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was made.
