About this care

AI
Welcome to Kinderopvang Bambeloe, located at Hoofdweg 22 in the heart of Blijham. Our small-scale after-school care (BSO) provides a warm, homely place for children aged 4 to 13 after the school day ends. Run by enthusiastic, permanent and experienced pedagogical staff, we make every afternoon a safe and cheerful experience. At Bambeloe we organise mixed-age groups. Children play and learn together with peers, younger and older kids, strengthening social skills and learning from one another. Our large, green garden with play equipment is used daily: outdoor games, gardening or simply running around are part of the routine. We also love excursions—within a five-minute walk we reach the local playground and park, and we regularly head into the woods. Creative activities are central to our programme. Children craft with natural materials, bake cookies or bread, and work around seasonal themes. At the same time, there is plenty of room for personal choice: a board game, reading a book, or relaxing on our cosy sofa. We believe every child should feel seen and have a say in how the afternoon unfolds. We are open 47 weeks a year, Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 18:30. Flexible care is our standard: parents only pay for the hours actually booked. The hourly rate is € 6.64 gross, including a healthy snack and drinks. During school holidays we remain open so children keep their familiar place and parents can work without worry. In short, at Bambeloe your child feels at home. We offer a stable group, personal attention and a homely atmosphere where fun and development go hand in hand.

Violations
Predominantly positive: two of the three assessed main topics were found to be in immediate compliance. Under 'staff and groups,' an initial violation was identified, which has since been resolved following corrective action.

Strengths

  • Relaxed atmosphere in the group and engaged staff
  • Flexible solutions to practical problems (broken heating, combining groups)
  • Good care for individual children (example: potty training)
  • Correct staff-to-child ratios and valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) for all employees
  • Active parent committee with 3 members
  • Written distribution of pedagogical policy hours across locations is clearly documented

Violations

  • The holder could not demonstrate that staff members had received coaching from the pedagogical policy worker in 2025 (shortcoming in deployment of pedagogical policy worker)

Summary

The annual inspection of 3 February 2026 at Kinderopvang Bam beloe in Blijham shows predominantly positive results. The small-scale childcare facility (maximum 14 children) meets the statutory requirements for pedagogical climate and parental rights. A relaxed atmosphere was observed and staff demonstrated commitment to the children. A shortcoming was identified regarding the deployment of the pedagogical policy worker: the holder could not demonstrate that staff members had received coaching in 2025. Following a recovery offer, the holder subsequently provided the required documentation, resolving the violation. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
