About this care
BSO de Bouwsteen is part of Kinderdam and is located in the same building as Special Primary Education De Bouwsteen at Wiekslag 3 in Capelle aan den IJssel. We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 12 who attend De Bouwsteen. For these children, rest, safety and individual attention are especially important; therefore we work with smaller groups and a fixed daily structure. Our pedagogical staff are specially trained to meet the specific support needs of the pupils.
The after-school care is open Monday to Friday from the moment school ends until 18.30. Each afternoon an activity is offered that fits within a current theme. We always start by chatting about the day’s adventures, after which children can choose to join the themed activity or play freely. Outdoor play is part of our daily routine; for this we use the spacious and green school playgrounds of De Bouwsteen.
Creative and sports development are given plenty of room. We regularly work with craft and drawing materials, build with large construction materials and organise sports and movement activities in the playroom or on the playground. We follow a predictable daily schedule so that children know what to expect; this provides calm and confidence.
Parents who would like more information about placement or would like to arrange a tour can contact location manager Tamara Henriquez-Crielaard at t.crielaard@kinderdam.nl or by phone on 06-17815220. We look forward to giving your child a safe and enjoyable afternoon as well.Read more
GGD Inspection
Improvements needed
Inspection date: February 2, 2026
Strengths
- Good pedagogical practice with emotional safety for children
- Staff are able to quickly de-escalate unsettled situations and restore calm
- Effective use of choice board and timer to support child participation
- Sufficient staffing levels and appropriate qualifications
- Clear focus on individual attention and structure for children attending special education
Shortcomings
- The pedagogical coach was absent for 5 months in 2025 without replacement, meaning coaching may not have been delivered in full according to the established hours
- The space remains reasonably cluttered with boxes and items stored between cabinets
Summary
BSO de Bouwsteen in Capelle aan den IJssel is an after-school care (BSO) for up to 16 children aged 4–12, located within a school for special primary education. The focus is on individual attention, structure, calm and predictability. At the annual inspection on 2 February 2026, all quality requirements examined were assessed as satisfactory. The pedagogical practice is good: staff provide emotional safety, are able to quickly restore calm in challenging situations, and give children plenty of attention. The location uses a choice board and timer to let children make their own decisions. The staff-to-child ratio is adequate and all employees hold the correct diplomas and Certificate of Conduct (VOG). The pedagogical coach was absent for 5 months in 2025 without replacement. The 70m² accommodation is satisfactory, following a recovery offer in May 2025 in which a large craft table and boxes were removed. There is no parent committee, but parents are kept informed through surveys and newsletters.
