Summary

KC de Kern (BSO), an after-school care (BSO) location in Ede, part of Spelenderwijs Ede, was subject to an unannounced follow-up inspection by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 3 September 2026. The inspection focused on safety and health, specifically the safety policy regarding access gates to the outdoor play area. During an earlier annual inspection on 9 June 2026, the gates were found open while children were playing outside, directly adjacent to a busy road with a bus lane. As this was a repeat of a violation from 2024, no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was provided. At the follow-up inspection on 3 September 2026, the gates were found closed. The team has taken measures: rules have been discussed, parents are addressed about closing gates, and rules are visibly posted. The location now meets the requirements.
