About this care

AI
Welcome to BSO De Zuidwester, the after-school adventure at Ohmstraat 2 in Haarlem. Our home is literally inside primary school De Zuidwester, so for the children it feels instantly familiar: they step out of class and walk straight through our door. Around the corner lie the Elswout estate and the Hout city park – our free outdoor classrooms. Plenty of space! The schoolyard is huge, the gym is spacious, so there is always room to run, build or simply be alone. For the youngest BSO children we have the Young Child Club; a quiet place where those exciting first steps at after-school care happen in a relaxed way. At Op Stoom we believe that free time is the time to discover who you are. That is why we offer a new six-week course every period: skating, skiing, pony riding, cooking – you name it. This way a child might just discover a brand-new hobby. We work with fixed pedagogical staff who really take time for each child. At drop-off we hear what happened at home, at pick-up we tell which adventures took place. Everything is shared through our parent portal and the Konnect Parent App, so parents can always follow along. BSO De Zuidwester is open on weekdays from the end of school until 6.30 p.m. On study days and during all school holidays we are open from 7.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. We also provide before-school care (VSO) and lunch care (TSO) at De Zuidwester. In short: one place, all the time, endless space to grow.

  • Sufficient staff deployed
  • All employees are registered in the persons register and hold a Certificate of Conduct (VOG)
  • Safety and health policy is being followed

  • Better inform temporary staff about safety policy

Summary

BSO Zuidwester Op Stoom in Haarlem provides after-school care (BSO) to 100 children aged 4-12 from primary school De Zuidwester. The annual unannounced inspection on 6 November 2025 shows that the location meets all assessed quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health. No violations were identified. However, two areas for attention were noted: the mealtime practice deviates from the pedagogical policy (children eat in two groups, with one group playing outside unsupervised), and a temporary staff member was not fully aware of the safety policy regarding play equipment. The location has committed to discussing and improving these points internally. The safety policy has already been updated, and the previously identified violation from 2024 has been resolved. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to take enforcement measures.
