SOEF de Vlieger

Strengths

• The licence holder correctly submitted changes via a modification request to the municipality
• The pedagogical policy meets the legal requirements with a concrete description of working methods, group size and staff-child ratio
• Current care takes place in base groups in accordance with the conditions
• The existing indoor and outdoor play areas are safe and accessible

Shortcomings

• The indoor and outdoor spaces are not appropriately set up in accordance with the number and age of the children to be cared for: classroom 8 is a regular classroom that is not suitably arranged for after-school care (BSO) and is only available on Tuesdays, while a registration of 44 childcare places would apply on all days
• Insufficient indoor play space: classroom 8 cannot be included in the square metre count for the after-school care (BSO), meaning the required 3.5 m² per child is not achieved for 44 children

Violations

• Insufficient indoor play space: classroom 8 cannot be included in the square metre count for the after-school care (BSO), meaning the required 3.5 m² per child is not achieved for 44 children

Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected after-school care (BSO) SOEF de Vlieger in Alkmaar on 26 May 2026 for an incidental investigation into an application to expand the number of childcare places from 36 to 44. The location meets most of the assessed conditions, but not the space requirements for the planned expansion. Classroom 8, which would be used additionally, is a regular classroom that is not suitably arranged for after-school care (BSO) and would only be available on Tuesdays. The expansion can therefore not proceed.
