Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the new after-school care (BSO) Rivakids BSO de Avonturiers in Kesteren on 20 July 2026 for registration. The BSO offers places for up to 24 children aged 7 to 13 and is located in primary school Het Palet. The inspection concludes that the location will reasonably meet the legal requirements after opening on 31 August 2026. No violations were found. However, several practical safety measures are still planned before opening, including finger guards on doors, safety film on windows without safety glass, protection for heating pipes, and modifications to glass cabinets. The licence holder Kinderopvang Bunderbos B.V. has a good track record; no serious shortcomings were found during previous inspections.
