Summary

The annual inspection of after-school care (BSO) De Flippers in Almere took place on 16 April 2026. The location provides care for 44 children and is part of De Flippers B.V. Since January 2026, there has been new management. The inspection assessed the pedagogical climate, staff, and groups. The pedagogical practice appears positive: the atmosphere is good, staff are familiar faces, and children feel emotionally safe. Enjoyable activities are offered, such as microscopy. The pedagogical policy plan was revised and approved following a recovery offer. However, one violation remained unresolved: the guidance plan for the staff member in training lacks the required signature of the training supervisor, an issue that also occurred in 2025. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.
