Summary

On 6 August 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted a registration inspection at SportBSO Noordgeest in Bergen op Zoom, a new after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 20 children aged 4 to 12. The location meets all assessed quality requirements under the Childcare Act. The pedagogical policy is extensive and concrete, the accommodation with 70m² of indoor space and a spacious schoolyard meets the requirements, and the safety and health policy is complete. The holder holds valid certificates of conduct and has a complaints procedure in place. The GGD advises the municipality to grant permission, with one adjustment: the number of childcare places is set at 20 rather than the requested 50. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
