Summary

The annual inspection on 17 March 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Zonnewijzer in Westerbeek, part of Stichting Spring Kinderopvang, shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets most quality requirements in areas such as pedagogical climate, staff, accommodation and general conditions. Two violations were identified that were both resolved through a recovery offer: children did not wash their hands before eating (hygiene) and there was insufficient parent involvement (recruitment of parent committee and alternative parent consultation). Both violations were resolved within the set period. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement.
