Summary

GGD Fryslân conducted a registration inspection at Vandaag BSO De Arke in Burgum on 23 June 2026, a new after-school care (BSO) for up to 19 children aged 4 to 13. The inspection was carried out under the 'Streng aan de Poort' (Strict at the Gate) framework, meaning the location underwent intensive scrutiny before being permitted to open. The location is part of the umbrella organization Vandaag Kinderopvang B.V. and is based at primary school De Arke. The GGD concludes that the operation can reasonably be expected to meet all quality requirements of the Childcare Act. No violations or areas for improvement were identified. The advice to the municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel is positive: the location can be included in the National Childcare Register. The intended opening date is 17 August 2026.
