About this care
BSO Bolderburen is our after-school care facility for children aged 4 to 7, located at Atjehstraat 32 in Leiden. We are part of Kind in Beeld, an organisation that has been providing childcare with dedication and warmth for many years in the region. At Bolderburen we welcome up to 20 children each day, guided by two regular teachers. Children join us straight after school; pupils from Vrijeschool Mareland arrive at 1 p.m., while children from other schools are collected at their individual dismissal times.
Our site features its own natural playground where children can climb, explore and play together independently. From time to time we walk with a teacher to the larger playground that hosts our other BSO groups, giving the children the chance to make new friends and enjoy even more adventures. The name Bolderburen is inspired by Bullerbyn, the tiny Swedish village in Astrid Lindgren’s stories: the nicest village in the world, where seven children experience something new every day. Just like in Bullerbyn, we want our children to discover the world with open eyes and a sense of wonder.
We work from an anthroposophical perspective, focusing on calm, rhythm and individual attention for every child. Learning through play, imagination and the development of social skills are at the heart of our approach. We also organise small excursions to nearby nature areas so that the children can experience the seasons and get to know the world around them.
In short, BSO Bolderburen is a warm, safe place where children can play, relax and grow in a homely environment after school.Read more

- Safety and health policy is well adhered to
- Mentor system provides stability and a point of contact for parents

Summary
Bolderburen is an after-school care (BSO) in Leiden for a maximum of 20 children aged 4 to 7, part of Kindercentrum Kind in Beeld B.V. The annual inspection of 28 July 2026 showed that the location meets the quality requirements regarding staff and groups and safety and health. A recovery offer was issued for the pedagogical policy, as the description of cross-location care was missing. The holder resolved this by submitting a revised policy plan on 2 September 2026. The pedagogical practice is positive: staff members provide emotional security, individual attention, and guide children in social interactions. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement.
