About this care
Welcome to BSO Merwedeplein, part of childcare organisation HINK, located at Hobbemastraat 3 in Hardinxveld-Giessendam. We provide after-school care for up to 51 children aged 4 to 13. Our setting is an integral part of the Integral Child Centre (IKC) Merwede, allowing pupils from De Regenboog primary school to walk straight to us after classes. Children from other schools are also welcome if parents arrange safe transport.
Our vision is simple: after-school care should be a play-and-learn centre. Play comes first, because children learn through play. We create a safe yet challenging environment where children can explore, experiment and experience freely. Every child is unique and develops at their own pace. We truly see each child, paying attention to talents, background and personal needs. In this way children learn to recognise their talents and use them to reach goals.
BSO Merwedeplein has three groups. Toys and activities are tailored to the age of each group. We offer a varied programme including arts & crafts, sports, drama and cooking. Children decide for themselves what they want to do and, depending on their age, help design the activity schedule. Sitting quietly with a book or simply doing nothing is also fine. After-school time is clearly free time.
We collect children from De Regenboog after school and escort them to our BSO. Full-day care is available during school holidays and study days. For more information or to arrange a visit, please see www.onshink.nl or email info@onshink.nl.Read more

Summary
BSO Merwedeplein in Hardinxveld-Giessendam (part of HINK/Opvang Nieuwe Stijl) wishes to expand its number of places from 51 to 66. During an unannounced inspection on 30 June 2025, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) concluded that both the indoor and outdoor play space is large enough for 66 children; the municipality is advised to approve the expansion. No new violations or areas for improvement were found during this incidental inspection. The most recent annual inspection (February 2025) had identified three shortcomings regarding staff registration and the deployment of an unqualified BBL intern; two of these have since been resolved through a recovery offer, while one remains outstanding.
