Summary

Het Sport Paleis "AVC Heracles" in Almelo is a new after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 38 children aged 4-12, located in the canteen of football club AVC Heracles. The registration inspection found that the location meets most legal requirements, but two shortcomings were identified in the pedagogical policy and parent information. These shortcomings are not serious enough to obstruct registration. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipal executive to proceed with registration.
