• Staff meet all training requirements and Certificate of Conduct (VOG) obligations
• Staff-child ratio is in order
• Good information transfer between parents and staff at pick-up

Violations

• No demonstrable parental involvement arranged despite absence of mandatory parent committee; parents are not sufficiently involved in pedagogical policy, opening hours, complaints procedure and fees

Summary

The annual inspection by GGD Rotterdam-Rijnmond on 22 January 2026 of after-school care (BSO) ZiezoKids in Schiedam shows a predominantly positive picture with one violation. The after-school care for 21 children (ages 7-13) performs well in pedagogical matters and staffing. Children receive sensitive guidance, there is attention to emotional safety, and children have a say through a children's council. The location works closely with Montessorischool Schiedam. One violation concerns the lack of adequate parental involvement: although no formal parent committee is required for ≤50 places, no demonstrable alternative involvement has been arranged. The provider acknowledges this and promises improvement. The GGD advises enforcement.
