About this care
Kindercentrum De Kids Loods is located at Walmolenstraat 3 in Almere and offers after-school care (BSO) in a homely atmosphere. We regard after-school care as leisure time: children have already had to perform all day at school and are welcome to relax in a safe, familiar environment.
Our BSO group is vertically organised and accommodates up to 30 children aged 4 to 12. The space – the ‘loods’ – is open and inviting. At the large dining table we share bread or a warm meal and enjoy crafts together. At the smaller, quiet table there is room for homework or work in small groups. The living room area has several game consoles, but of course there is also plenty of opportunity to read. The large mirror wall is a favourite with children who love dressing up.
Flexibility is in our DNA: parents can opt for flexible contracts and we are open from 07:00 to 19:00. A warm evening meal is always ready for the late stayers. Together we create a second home where children feel at ease and parents can work with peace of mind.Read more

Summary
Kindercentrum De Kids Loods in Almere provides after-school care (BSO) for up to 30 children in one base group. During the unannounced annual inspection visit on 2 October 2025, the Municipal Health Service (GGD) identified three violations: the absence of a description of group assistants in the pedagogical policy plan, missing allocation of coaching hours across locations, and the use of part of the group room as storage with a fall hazard. Following a recovery offer, the provider resolved all shortcomings: the policy plan has been supplemented, coaching hours have been specified per location, and the room has been cleared. The pedagogical practice appears positive: children experience emotional security, there is ample room for play and development, and staff provide tailored guidance. All staff hold the correct qualifications and Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), the childcare staff register is up-to-date, and a first aider is always present. The premises offer sufficient indoor and outdoor space, furnished safely and stimulatingly. The inspection report concludes that the BSO meets all legal requirements following recovery. No enforcement action is recommended.
