About this care
Welcome to Monkey Donky Speelhuis St. Michaëlschool! Since 2009 we have been providing after-school care in a former classroom at St. Michaëlschool, located in the heart of Groningen city center. Our location is small-scale with space for up to 40 children aged 4 to 12 years. We work closely with the school, allowing children to come directly to our familiar environment after school.
At our BSO, children can truly be themselves. While one child relaxes through play, another child may need active engagement. We offer a wide range of activities with creativity as a key pillar. Our pedagogical staff organize creative workshops and sports activities. We believe children learn and discover through play. Therefore, we provide ample space for their own impulses and ideas, enabling them to come up with solutions themselves.
Our location is equipped with all facilities children need after a long school day. We work with familiar faces, ensuring both children and parents feel comfortable with our staff. Through the Monkey Donky App, we keep parents updated about the day with photos and stories. Parents can also easily arrange practical matters from home.
Feel free to visit our BSO at St. Michaëlschool and experience the warm and homely atmosphere where children feel at home!Read more

Summary
The annual inspection on 1 December 2025 at after-school care (BSO) Monkey Donky Speelhuis St. Michaelschool in Groningen shows that the location meets all assessed quality requirements. The after-school care (buitenschoolse opvang/BSO), located in the school building with places for 40 children (ages 4–13), has a pleasant atmosphere in which children play together and help one another. The staff members are continuously engaged with the children and manage to maintain a good balance between their own initiative and giving children space. All staff members hold the appropriate qualifications, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) declarations, and are registered in the personnel register. The reporting protocol for domestic violence and the duty to report, consult, and file are also in order. Historically, there were some issues: in 2023 there was a violation regarding parental rights/information (resolved through a recovery offer), and in 2024 shortcomings in the safety policy (resolved following further inspection in 2025).
