About this care
Kindercentrum Bolleboos is located inside the primary school ’t Baeken at Faktorij 123 in Alkmaar North. We provide toddler care with Early Childhood Education (ECE) for children aged 2 to 4. Our horizontal group accommodates 16 toddlers and is fully geared to the developmental needs of this age. The location shares outdoor space with the school, giving children access to playground equipment and outdoor toys. The nearby De Groene Voet park and ’t Span playground offer additional opportunities for nature and outdoor activities.
We follow a thematic programme that matches the curiosity and developmental stage of toddlers. Activities such as drawing, crafts, reading and play support broad development. Daily sports and games are part of the routine, as we believe physical activity is essential. Close cooperation with primary school ’t Baeken ensures a smooth transition: children see familiar faces and experience no barriers between childcare and education.
Our qualified, HKZ-certified pedagogical staff provide care from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with flexible half-day or full-day options. A separate quiet corner allows children to rest or look at books. Healthy nutrition and attention to rest and routine are integral to our daily care.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Bolleboos in Alkmaar provides toddler care for up to 16 children aged 2–4 years and is part of Rollebol Kindercentra B.V. The annual inspection on 8 April 2025 showed that the location meets all legal requirements, after having resolved two shortcomings earlier. Key strengths include the clear pedagogical policy, use of the recognized early education program Uk & Puk, well-trained staff, and a safe, stimulating environment. There were two violations: insufficient hand hygiene (hands not always washed with water and soap around diaper changes and before meals) and the absence of the most recent inspection report on the website. Both issues were resolved within two weeks through a recovery offer: the daily schedule was adjusted, additional facilities were installed, the team was trained, and the report was published online. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action.
