• Reporting code: align allocation of responsibilities with practice (attention officer jointly responsible from step 2)

Violations

Summary

GGD inspection of after-school care (BSO) VesperCare - Hilversum on 10 April 2026 for registration in the National Childcare Register (Landelijk Register Kinderopvang/LRK). The location provides care for a maximum of 22 children aged 4-12 with additional care needs, from both special and mainstream education. The inspection took place before operations commenced. Initially, there were shortcomings in the pedagogical policy (base group formation and leaving), safety and health policy (unclear risks, non-location-specific action plan, missing backup arrangement), and accommodation (non-demonstrable play area). The operator was given the opportunity to supplement and has remedied all shortcomings. Following supplementation, the location meets all quality requirements. There are no objections to registration.
