Summary

Kidspalace BSO in 's-Gravendeel is an after-school care (BSO) for up to 44 children aged 4-12, part of a small sole proprietorship. The annual inspection of 9 October 2025 shows a predominantly positive picture with a relaxed, open atmosphere in which staff act sensitively and responsively. There is sufficient play material for various developmental areas. However, one violation was identified regarding food safety: the refrigerator temperature was not checked and no thermometer was present. Following a recovery offer, the provider immediately purchased a thermometer, informed the team, and discussed the topic in the team meeting. The shortcoming was resolved on 21 November 2025. In all other areas, including pedagogical policy, reporting protocol, and staff registration, the location meets the legal requirements.
