About this care
Kindercentrum Molukkertjes is a small-scale, personal childcare centre located in the welcoming Indische Buurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam at Molukkenstraat 74. We provide after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 12 in a warm, homely atmosphere. Our dedicated team of pedagogical staff run the centre independently and are committed to giving every child personal attention each day.
At Molukkertjes we work with two groups: a toddler/baby group and a separate after-school group. Children can move between the two as they wish and develop, allowing siblings to stay in touch while still playing with peers their own age. We deliberately keep the groups small so it never feels like a factory, but always like a cosy place where your child feels safe and seen.
Our activities are varied and creative: we do arts and crafts, play games and go outside at least once a day to our own enclosed courtyard. We also occasionally offer parent-and-child yoga – relaxation without fuss, just enjoy! For lunch we prepare fresh, hot meals so your child can sit down straight after school and recharge for the rest of the afternoon.
Parents appreciate our down-to-earth approach: we don’t talk in long pedagogical terms, we let our actions speak. We are continuously focused on your child’s development and tailor our activities to what he or she needs. Feel free to drop by for a tour or call us on 020-221-3586. We’ll be happy to tell you more about how we give your child a great afternoon after school.Read more

- Information about children, concerns and agreements must be better shared and secured within the team

Summary
Municipal Health Service (GGD) Amsterdam conducted a follow-up investigation on 23 July 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Molukkertjes in Amsterdam, following an enforcement procedure by the municipality. The location, part of Tibetaantjes Ltd, provides care for up to 30 children but in practice has very low occupancy (1-2 children daily). The organisation has a history of repeated violations regarding pedagogical policy, safety and staffing. During this investigation, it was found that the location currently does provide responsible care and implements the pedagogical policy. There is greater staff stability and the atmosphere has improved. However, the improvements remain vulnerable; the organisation must continue to focus on pedagogical support for childcare professionals and maintain good oversight of children. The low occupancy makes it unclear how the climate will develop at full capacity. No new violations were identified.
Reviews
We are so happy with this daycare for our 7 month old daughter. She didn’t find the initial adjustment easy but the ladies made an effort to make her ...
Best choice we could make for our baby daughter!
