• Safety and health policy: policy cycle not followed, staff not informed

Summary

The annual inspection of 8 June 2026 at Topkids BSO Laanstraat Soest reveals serious shortcomings across multiple domains. The after-school care (BSO) for up to 67 children (ages 4–13) does not meet requirements for pedagogical climate, safety and health, and accommodation. Only staff and groups and parental rights meet requirements. Pedagogical practice is inadequate: staff are not familiar with policy, communicate unfriendily, provide little stimulation, and apply rigid boundaries. The atmosphere is chaotic with insufficient supervision. Safety risks include children left unsupervised, access to cleaning agents, hydrogel beads used as play materials, and an after-school care bus with the key in the ignition. The accommodation is inadequately furnished with too few toys, unsafe furniture, and unhygienic spaces. The operator has initiated an action plan with guidance.
