About this care
We are Bam Bam Kids, a small-scale daycare center located at Koggenland 94 in Purmerend. Since 2003, we have been providing childcare with great pleasure and personal attention for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location is officially registered in the National Childcare Register, allowing parents to apply for childcare allowance.
With us, everything revolves around a safe and homely environment where children can develop at their own pace. We work with vertical groups, which means children of different ages play and learn together. This stimulates social development and creates a warm, family atmosphere.
Our experienced childcare professionals are ready every working day to guide your child with love and expertise. We believe it's important that parents and children quickly feel at home with us. That's why we work with an extensive settling-in program of about 4 days, taking the time to get to know each other well.
One of the favorite activities among our toddlers is toddler dancing! Parents often tell us how happy their children come home after a day full of play and fun. We are proud of our personal approach and the good contact we maintain with all parents.
Bam Bam Kids is small in scale but big in personal attention. We understand that choosing childcare is an important decision. That's why we invite you for a tour so you can experience for yourself what makes our daycare special.Read more
Practical info
Settling in
About a month before the contract begins, we get in touch to schedule settling-in visits. We plan approximately 4 settling-in days before the contract starts. The first settling-in day is for information exchange: the childcare practitioner explains what you can expect and where to find everything, and you share information about your child, routines, feeding schedules, and other important details. The remaining settling-in days are gradually extended in duration, so that parent and child can calmly become familiar with the childcare setting.
Payment
We always invoice in advance. The invoice is sent around the 10th of the month and you have 14 days to pay. If you choose automatic direct debit, the amount will be collected around the 25th of the month. It is not possible to have the childcare benefit (kinderopvangtoeslag) paid directly to us; you pay the full amount and receive the benefit yourself.

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Bam Bam Kids in Purmerend was inspected on 30 April 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Zaanstreek-Waterland. The small-scale childcare facility with two vertical groups for ages 0-4 generally meets the quality requirements well. Almost all areas scored positively: staff and groups, safety and health, accommodation, and parental rights. Only the pedagogical policy initially had a shortcoming: the settling-in policy was not described concretely enough. The holder received a recovery offer for this, and the policy has since been amended and approved. The pedagogical practice demonstrated a warm, safe environment with attention to emotional and social development. No complaints were filed in the past year. The GGD advises the municipality not to take enforcement measures.
Reviews
30 loslopende kids met 3 begeleidsters in Twiske, ik zou mijn kind niet aan ze toevertrouwen. Veel te weinig zicht in het park!
Mijn kinderen hebben het reuze naar hun zin hier. Al vanaf kleins af aan komen ze hier, eerst dagopvang en daarna BSO. En nog steeds! Leuke leidsters,...
Altijd goed voor ons kind
