About this care
Welcome to the after-school care (BSO) of Monkey Donky Speelhuis at Hamburgerstraat 13 in Groningen! Our BSO is located on the ground floor, the former church floor, and on the first floor of this characteristic building. This unique location offers our children a special place to play, discover and grow after school hours.
Our location features multiple spaces where children can retreat or play together. The absolute centerpiece is our fantastic indoor play structure, an impressive 2-story climbing frame! Here children can climb, scramble and romp to their heart's content, regardless of the weather outside.
We have a beautiful large kitchen where we regularly organize cooking activities. Every Friday we prepare a warm meal together with the children. This is not only fun, but also teaches children valuable skills regarding healthy nutrition and cooperation.
For more than 25 years we have been providing childcare in Groningen with great enthusiasm and commitment. Our pedagogical staff are ready to offer children a safe and familiar environment where they can fully develop. We believe in the power of learning through play and encourage children to discover the world from their sense of security with us.
Our BSO at Hamburgerstraat provides care for children from 4 years old who attend primary school. We are proud of our unique location and the warm, homely character that the former church building radiates. Together we make every day special!Read more

Summary
The annual unannounced inspection by GGD Groningen of BSO Monkey Donky Speelhuis on Hamburgerstraat took place on 18 March 2026. The location provides care for 28 children across 3 groups on the 1st floor, with a large indoor space, adjacent outdoor play area, and a nearby park. The inspection assessed pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and parental rights. Two of the three domains were found to be in direct compliance with statutory requirements. A violation was identified regarding parental rights: the complaints procedure was not available on the website, making it more difficult for parents to find information on how to submit complaints. The location manager received a recovery offer and has since implemented it; the complaints procedure has now been published. The operator is affiliated with the recognised Childcare Disputes Committee (Geschillencommissie Kinderopvang).
