Summary

The annual inspection of 26 February 2026 of Kleinlab B.V. (after-school care/BSO) at the Children's Art Museum in Amsterdam-Noord shows a positive picture. The location, opened in November 2025, meets all inspected quality requirements. The after-school care (BSO) distinguishes itself through a strong pedagogical vision focused on creativity and child-led practice, where children work on art projects in three ateliers (2D, 3D and Light) under the guidance of 'pedagogical artists'. More qualified staff are deployed daily than legally required.
