About this care

AI
We are Sheppard’s House, a Christian after-school care centre located at Hawaiiweg 3 in Almere Buiten. Jesus is at the heart of everything we do; from the Bible we teach children that they are special, smart, unique and precious. We provide a homely, safe place where children aged 4 to 12 can spend their free time after school. Our qualified pedagogical staff are on site every weekday from 07:00 to 18:30 to guide the children. We start the morning with a communal breakfast, after which children can play freely or take part in optional activities. At around 09:00 we serve fruit and drinks, followed by a group activity. At 11:30 we eat bread together and have quiet moments. In the afternoon we serve a warm meal at 16:00 and end the day with yoghurt or a sandwich. We offer two clear packages. Package Diamond provides care on fixed days and times for 51 weeks at € 10.71 per hour, including 12 weeks of school holidays. Package Bronze is flexible: you book a minimum of 50 hours per month and can schedule hours up to one week in advance for € 11.50 per hour. Both packages are all-in: food, fruit and drinks are included. At Sheppard’s House we believe children need to feel safe. Only then will they dare to take steps to discover and develop their talents. We offer both before-school care (VSO) and after-school care (BSO), always in a positive, loving atmosphere.

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report dated 27 January 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation at after-school care (BSO) Sheppard's House in Almere. The location, situated at Hawaiiweg 3 with 24 childcare places, has been operated by Cyril Sheppard since March 2023. The investigation focused on the remediation of previously identified violations from the annual inspection of January 2025 and the follow-up investigation of April 2025. The specific violation concerned staff lacking knowledge of the amended safety policy. During this investigation, it was established that the holder remedied this shortcoming by actively discussing the safety policy in meetings and through interactive Kahoot sessions. The organisation is increasingly digitalising with systems such as BITCARE and HUMANWAVE, where current policy documents are available.
