About this care
Welcome to Knutselkookclub Amsterdam 2! We are located at Baron G.A. Tindalstraat 242 in the heart of Amsterdam. As an after-school care facility, we offer a unique place where children from toddler to teenager can enjoy creative cooking activities and craft projects.
With us, the creative development of your child is central. Our pedagogical staff guide children in discovering new flavors and techniques in the kitchen. We believe that cooking and crafting are perfect ways to let children learn new skills in a playful manner. From cutting vegetables for a delicious soup to creating artworks with various materials - no day is the same with us.
Our location accommodates 20 children, allowing us to work on a small scale and provide lots of personal attention. We regularly organize parties and special activities where children can let their creativity run free. The atmosphere is homely and warm, where every child quickly feels at home.
We are proud to have created a place where children can relax after school, learn new things, and above all have lots of fun. Our focus is on stimulating imagination and developing practical skills through cooking and crafting.Read more

- Sufficiently qualified staff present on inspection day
- First aid provision and back-up coverage well arranged
- Complaints procedure meets requirements
Violations
- Pedagogical policy on mentorship and staff deployment was insufficiently clear (resolved)
- Substitute staff member not linked to provider in the Childcare Personnel Register before starting work (resolved)
- Pedagogical policy staff member/coach: 50 hours were wrongly partially spent on safety and health policy instead of fully on pedagogical policy (resolved)
- Safety and health policy on indoor environment and heat was incomplete and insufficiently clear; policy on safe outdoor play and missing children did not match practice (resolved)
- No parent committee established despite more than 50 placed children (not resolved; advice: no enforcement)
Summary
The Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspected the after-school care (BSO) Knutselkookclub Amsterdam 2 on July 9, 2026, a sole proprietorship with 20 childcare places where cooking activities are central. Five violations were identified. Four violations concerned the pedagogical policy (mentorship, discussing child development, staff deployment), a substitute staff member not linked in the Childcare Personnel Register, the deployment of the pedagogical policy staff member/coach, and the safety and health policy (indoor environment, heat, safe outdoor play). The provider has resolved these four violations. The fifth violation concerns the absence of a parent committee; no recovery offer was made for this because the provider is making sufficient efforts to recruit members and applies alternative parent consultation. The pedagogical practice showed strong points: emotional safety, structure, and stimulation of personal development. The GGD advises no enforcement.
