Summary

Partou BSO KC De Optimist at Faas Wilkesstraat 451 in Amsterdam provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 49 children in 3 groups. During the unannounced annual inspection on 27 February 2025, it was established that the facility generally provides responsible care: children experience emotional safety, receive creative play challenges and learn social skills. All permanent staff members hold a valid qualification and group staffing levels are sufficient. The safety and health policy is in order; outdoor play, missing child procedures and accidents are well arranged. Parents are involved through the website and an active parent committee. One violation was identified: a substitute staff member did not hold an appropriate qualification. The organisation took immediate measures: the staff member in question will no longer be deployed, temporary staff are pre-screened and qualifications are verified. The violation has thereby been terminated. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality not to impose additional measures.
