Summary

Het Kuikentje BSO in Arnhem is an after-school care (BSO) for up to 64 children aged 4 to 12 years, divided across three base groups. At the annual inspection on 20 April 2026, the location met legal requirements regarding staff and groups, safety and health, and parental rights. However, a recovery offer was made for the pedagogical policy: the tasks and supervision of interns, volunteers, and childcare professionals in training were insufficiently described in concrete terms. The holder resolved this before the deadline of 11 June 2026 and now meets all requirements. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) does note concerns about high staff turnover, but no emotionally unsafe situations for children. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.
