About this care
Welcome to BLOS Gansstraat, our daycare center in the heart of Utrecht. Located in the charming Watervogelbuurt neighborhood, we are within walking distance of the city center and easily accessible by public transport and car. Children aged 0 to 4 find a safe, home-like environment where they can grow and develop through play.
Our location features spacious, bright group areas designed according to the children's ages. For the littlest ones, we have quiet sleeping areas and a separate baby corner, while toddlers can explore and engage in imaginative play in our activity corners. Our dedicated childcare professionals provide loving care and attention to your child every day. Thanks to our small group sizes, we truly know each child and can respond well to individual needs.
At BLOS Gansstraat, we believe in the power of play. Our activities are designed to stimulate children's development without being performance-oriented. We provide ample space for free expression while also organizing structured moments such as reading and singing sessions. The garden behind our building is a true discovery garden where children can build sandcastles, experiment with water, or simply run and play. When weather permits, we spend plenty of time outdoors, as outdoor play is healthy and educational.
We understand how important it is for parents to focus on their work or studies, knowing their child is in good hands. That's why we offer flexible childcare days from Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. You can count on us for regular days as well as occasional care. We work closely with parents and keep you informed about your child's development through a parent app. Together, we ensure your child comes to BLOS Gansstraat with joy and returns home with a smile.Read more

Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection report of 16 September 2026 concerns a follow-up investigation into childcare center Basker - Gansstraat in Utrecht. This investigation followed an incidental inspection on 20 July 2026, during which a baby fell from the changing table whilst being changed. The GGD then found that the safety and health policy was in place, but was not being correctly followed in practice. The municipality of Utrecht subsequently issued a formal direction. This follow-up investigation has established that the provider has sustainably resolved the shortcoming. Various measures have been taken: the nappy changing procedure has been tightened (one child and one staff member per changing table, all necessary items within reach), a pedagogical coach has been brought in, and safety agreements are structurally discussed and evaluated. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
