Summary

GGD Kennemerland conducted an unannounced post-registration inspection on 16 February 2026 at VesperCare BSO+ at the Dr. A van Voorthuijsenschool in Haarlem. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates a maximum of 10 children aged 4 to 12 years in one base group. All assessed quality requirements have been met, including pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, premises, and parental rights. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff are sensitive and responsive, children have familiar, consistent faces, and go outdoors daily. There are a few points for attention: the pedagogical coach has not yet been seen on location by the team, and no parent committee has yet been established. The holder has up to six months after registration to do so. No violations were identified and no recovery offer was made.
