Hestia Waldorf aan de Werf

Strengths

• The base schedule shows that sufficient Dutch-speaking professionals are deployed
• The location has a stable team
• The operator has made efforts to find a Dutch-speaking professional by approaching other staff members and employment agencies

Violations

• Dutch is not being used as the language of instruction in accordance with legal requirements: on 24 and 25 August 2026, the language provision was not at least 50% Dutch, as 1 Dutch-speaking and 2 English-speaking professionals were deployed. Holiday requests from Dutch-speaking professionals were automatically approved during the location manager's absence, resulting in insufficient consideration of the staffing levels and the language requirement.

Summary

On 25 August 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted a follow-up investigation at after-school care (BSO) Hestia Waldorf aan de Werf in Amsterdam, following a previously identified violation regarding the language of instruction. The investigation examined whether the location was complying with the official order issued by the municipality on 15 December 2025. The investigation found that on 24 and 25 August 2026, the location did not meet the legal requirement that at least 50% of the day must be staffed by Dutch-speaking professionals. The violation has therefore not been resolved. The GGD advises the municipality to proceed with enforcement.
