Vespercare - Lelystad

Strengths

• Sufficient indoor and outdoor play space for the number of childcare places
• The complaints procedure has been documented in writing and affiliation with the Childcare Disputes Committee has been arranged
• The safety and health policy describes concrete risks and measures

Shortcomings

• The social services map in the reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse needs to be updated to Flevoland (currently lists Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland)
• Pedagogical practice, stability of childcare provision, deployment of pedagogical policy staff, and knowledge of the reporting code/MOA will be assessed during the first annual inspection after registration
• The furnishing of the group rooms still needs to take place and will be evaluated at the inspection after registration

Violations

• The fence facing the water had gaps between the fence and the ground, allowing children to crawl underneath (recovery offer: fencing raised as of 26 March 2026)
• Propane tank on adjacent property (Uilenweg 15) poses a safety risk during refilling; agreement made that refilling will not take place during after-school care (BSO) children's attendance (recovery offer: included in policy)

Summary

GGD Flevoland conducted a registration inspection on 17 March 2026 at BSO Vespercare in Lelystad, located in the Bramzijger scouting building. The location provides after-school care (BSO) for a maximum of 22 children aged 4-12, divided into two base groups, with a focus on children with behavioural problems or mild intellectual disabilities. The report gives a positive recommendation for inclusion in the national childcare register. The accommodation meets space requirements with 92.44 m² of indoor space and sufficient outdoor space. The pedagogical policy, personnel files, safety policy, and complaints procedure are in order. Several safety risks were identified regarding the water and a nearby propane tank, for which measures have been taken or agreements made. The reporting code does not yet contain the correct social services map for Flevoland.
