Summary

Villa Bloom Montessori Parkweg (BSO) in Voorburg is an after-school care (BSO) for up to 32 children aged 4 to 12. The location, opened since 24 December 2025, is inspired by Montessori pedagogy with a focus on independence, respect, and freedom. During the unannounced inspection visit on 20 April 2026, all investigated items were assessed: pedagogical climate, staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. The supervisor found that the four pedagogical basic goals are safeguarded. Children act independently during mealtimes, feel emotionally safe, and the staff have a trusting relationship with the children. The indoor and outdoor spaces amply meet the requirements. No violations or areas for improvement were identified.
