About this care
Welcome to Big Ben Kids The Hague/Scheveningen, located in an elegant 1899 villa at Scheveningseweg 46. Our childcare centre is open 52 weeks a year, Monday to Friday from 7:30 am to 6:15 pm. We operate horizontal groups for children aged 0-4: Babies (0-18 mths), Toddlers (12-36 mths), Juniors (24-48 mths) and Pre-schoolers (30-48 mths).
Every child receives one-on-one attention. Our qualified practitioners care for small groups of babies so they can respond immediately to each child’s needs. Older children follow a structured pre-school programme each morning, playfully developing language, time awareness, colours and other school-ready skills. In the afternoon there is free play in our spacious garden or on the dedicated sensory balcony for babies.
Thanks to our location near the Scheveningse woods and beach, we regularly go on outdoor excursions. We also provide music and swimming lessons. All activities are designed to give children a warm second home where they feel safe and valued, regardless of cultural background. Our international teams speak both Dutch and English.Read more

Summary
Big Ben Kids Scheveningen, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for up to 50 children (ages 0-4) in Den Haag, was inspected on 10 December 2025. The language of instruction is English. The inspection identified two violations: the pedagogical policy plan lacked concrete information on staff deployment, ratios and emotional safety in case of deviations, and a BBL student was not correctly linked in the Childcare Personnel Register to holder Big Ben Kids B.V. (a repeated violation). Both violations were resolved through a recovery offer. The pedagogical practice does meet requirements: staff demonstrate sensitive and responsive behavior, work with fixed routines and provide emotional safety. The location also meets requirements for qualifications, deployment of pedagogical policy workers, language of instruction rules, safety policy and pediatric first aid.
