Summary

Opvang Lulu is a new after-school care (BSO) in Haarlem for up to 14 children aged 4 to 13 years, located in primary school IBS De Eenheid. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) registration inspection on 8 April 2026 shows that the location will reasonably meet the quality standards. The two managers are also the permanent professional staff. Several adjustments are necessary before the childcare can open on 1 June 2026. The accommodation meets the requirements, with sufficient indoor and outdoor space. The website is not yet operational and the parent committee still needs to be established.
