About this care
Welcome to Natuurfontein Westerpark, the green out-of-school care centre located right inside Westerpark. We provide after-school care for 93 children aged 4–12 who attend De Burght or De Scholekster primary schools. Every afternoon we pick the children up at the school gate and head outdoors for at least two hours of nature-based play and learning. Our professional staff guide the children as they garden, explore insects, bake bread over a campfire and much more. We are certified by the Green Childcare Quality Mark and use sustainable materials and healthy, seasonal food. Fruit and drinks are included and we gladly accommodate allergies. Regular excursions in the park, forest and city complete our programme. At Natuurfontein Westerpark children grow up with respect for each other and the world around them.Read more

Summary
GGD Amsterdam conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 24 April 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Natuurfontein Westerpark B.V. in Amsterdam. The location provides care for 93 children aged 4-12 with an emphasis on nature and outdoor play. The inspection identified three violations: incorrect deployment of a pedagogical professional in development (ppio), non-compliance with food safety agreements, and a substitute staff member not linked in the Childcare Persons Register (PRK). For the first two violations, a recovery offer was made and the measures were assessed as sufficient. The third violation concerned a repeated administrative error in the PRK linkage, for which no recovery offer was made. The pedagogical practice was assessed positively: staff provide emotional safety, stimulate personal development, and guide children in conflicts. Points for attention are staff unfamiliarity with the backup staff arrangement and the small parent committee of two members.
