Summary

GGD Kennemerland conducted a pre-registration inspection on June 30, 2026, at Partou BSO IKC Valeo in Haarlem, an after-school care (BSO) for 40 children aged 4 to 13 years. The location is part of an integrated child center (IKC) with a primary school and toddler care. The inspection assessed whether the location would reasonably meet the quality requirements; practical implementation will be assessed at a later stage. The renovation was not yet fully completed during the visit, but completion was scheduled for July 2, 2026. The GGD concludes that the location meets the statutory requirements and advises registration in the National Childcare Register from July 6, 2026.
