Summary

On 2 July 2026, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted a registration inspection at after-school care (BSO) 't Startblok in Cuijk, part of Stichting Spring Kinderopvang. This concerns the relocation and name change of the existing BSO Buitengewoon. The location offers 44 childcare places for children aged 4 to 13 years in two base groups. The inspection assessed whether the provider can reasonably comply with the quality requirements of the Childcare Act upon commencement of operations on 1 August 2026. All assessed areas (general conditions, pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation) were found satisfactory. No violations were identified and no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was issued.
