About this care
BSO Vestein is located right at the heart of the De Veste neighbourhood, at Koolstraat 3 in Helmond. We share a modern multi-purpose centre with OBS Brandevoort primary school and the local community centre ’t Brandpunt, so children can walk straight from their classroom to our after-school care. We welcome up to 64 children aged 4 to 10 years.
During term time we are open on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at this address. In school holidays, and on Wednesday and Friday, we join forces with our nearby Hoevestein location. This partnership gives the children access to extra space and an even wider choice of activities, keeping every day fresh and exciting.
Our qualified pedagogical staff create a safe, stimulating environment where children can relax after school, pursue their own interests and discover new ones. Indoors we have a spacious play hall and cosy group rooms for crafts, games or simply winding down. Outside, a secure and challenging playground invites children to run, climb and explore.
Because OBS Brandevoort is literally next door, the hand-over from school to after-school care is seamless and familiar. Parents appreciate the short, safe route and the fact that their children stay within the neighbourhood they already know.Read more
GGD Inspection
All good
Inspection date: December 5, 2025
Strengths
- The pedagogical policy plan is complete and concrete
- A supervision plan for the staff member in training is present and signed
- Clear description of group composition and school holiday care
Summary
GGD Brabant-Zuidoost conducted an unannounced follow-up investigation at after-school care (BSO) Vestein in Helmond on 5 December 2025. The investigation focused on two issues that had not yet been resolved during the annual inspection visit of 19 August 2025: the pedagogical policy and the deployment of staff members in training. Both subjects now meet the legal requirements. The pedagogical policy plan clearly describes the working method, group size and age composition of the two base groups (Jippies 4-7 years and Topstars 7-9 years), as well as the manner in which cross-location care on school-free days is organised. For the staff member in training, a signed supervision plan is in place in which agreements with the practical and training supervisor have been recorded. No new violations or areas for improvement were identified. The municipality of Helmond is advised not to take enforcement action.
