About this care
Christian playgroup Benjamin is located in primary school 'De Olijfboom' in the Stadsweiden district and is a Christian VVE (Pre-school and Early-school Education) playgroup. We have a large bright location. Outside we use the kindergarten playground of primary school De Olijfboom with plenty of play opportunities, a large sandbox and a playhouse. In bad weather we can also use the games room of the primary school. We try to approach the toddlers and parents with warmth and involvement, we do this from our Christian life conviction. Norms and values are important to us, every child is welcome and we treat each other with respect. Central is providing trust and security, only then can the child develop.Read more

Summary
Peuteropvang Benjamin of Stichting Kinderspeelzalen Harderwijk was inspected by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) on 23 March 2026. The location, housed in basisschool Fontanus, accommodates 16 toddlers (five mornings per week). Across all three examined themes – pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and parental rights – the location meets the legal requirements. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: there is respectful contact, a varied program offering, and good developmental stimulation through the Uk & Puk program. However, there is one point of attention: on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday there is significant turnover of childcare professionals, which may affect stability for children. No complaints were submitted in 2025. The GGD advises the municipality not to take enforcement measures.
