Violations

• Pedagogical policy: incomplete description of frameworks for deviating from staff-child ratios, including pedagogical considerations and attention to children's needs (recurring issue)
• Safety and health: children's hands are not washed before mealtimes, despite previous agreements
• Safety and health: substitute staff do not have direct access to protocols and policy documents via the digital environment
• Safety and health: the safety and health policy is not kept sufficiently up to date; agreed measures and new risks are missing from the location plan
• Safety and health: on 2 July 2026, no adult with pediatric first aid certification (kinder-EHBO) was present at the after-school care (BSO), while this is mandatory
• Parental rights: inspection report is not correctly posted on the website; the link refers to a former location, preventing parents from accessing the current report

Summary

The inspection report from GGD Brabant-Zuidoost for Norlandia BSO 't Rendal in Lierop presents a mixed picture. The after-school care (BSO) meets requirements in most areas, but multiple violations have been identified. The location provides care for a maximum of 30 children aged 4-13 in the auditorium of primary school 't Rendal. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff respond flexibly to children, there is strong attention to outdoor play, and the staff demonstrate play availability. However, there are serious shortcomings in the area of safety and health, including non-compliance with hand hygiene, missing access to protocols for substitute staff, and an out-of-date safety policy. Additionally, there was a moment when no qualified first aider was present at the after-school care (BSO). Furthermore, the pedagogical policy lacks frameworks for deviating from staff-child ratios, a recurring problem. The link to the inspection report on the website incorrectly refers to the old location.
