Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected KleintjeZuid de Rivieren (after-school care/BSO) on 15 June 2026 due to a change of house number (37 to 37A) and an application to expand from 38 to 40 childcare places. The investigation consisted of a document review, site visit and discussion with management. The location is housed in a new annex on the playground of primary school De Rivieren. Although the organisation meets requirements in many areas, one violation was identified: the indoor space is insufficient for 40 children. With 137.9 m² of available space (minimum 3.5 m² per child required), a maximum of 39 children can be accommodated. The GGD advises partially rejecting the application and permitting operation for a maximum of 39 childcare places.
