Strengths

• Pedagogical climate: children feel emotionally safe, staff respond to children's needs and encourage independence
• Staff and groups: all qualification requirements are in order, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) correctly registered, sufficient qualified staff present
• Safety and health: mouse infestation risk adequately incorporated into policy with concrete action plan and professional pest control

Shortcomings

• Ensure demonstrable efforts for parent committee are structurally embedded, not only during inspection
• Encourage staff to more actively recruit for parent committee during daily contact moments with parents
• Expand natural contact moments with parents, given limited parental presence at the after-school care (BSO) location

Violations

• Absence of a parent committee despite legal obligation (Article 1.58 Childcare Act); the location has 80 individual children and therefore falls outside the exempt category of maximum 50 children

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected Top BSO Zuid in Breda on 11 August 2026. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates up to 50 children aged 8 to 13 years in a scouting building. The location meets the requirements for pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. However, one violation was identified: the mandatory parent committee is missing. The provider had made insufficient efforts to recruit parents prior to the investigation, despite an earlier indication from the municipality. During the investigation, improvement actions were initiated, including appeals via the parent app, new posters, and mentioning it during intake interviews. The supervisory authority acknowledges mitigating circumstances. There was a mouse infestation issue, but this risk was adequately incorporated into the policy and concrete pest control measures had been taken.
