About this care
Welcome to Buba Mara KDV, a small-scale daycare located on a historic farm in the rural village of Westbroek. We provide a homely and green environment where children aged 0 to 4 feel safe and secure. Our location at Dr. Welfferweg 39 features one vertical group for up to 16 children. We work with a fixed team of 4 qualified childcare professionals ensuring continuity and familiarity. The grounds offer ample space for outdoor play in our fenced play meadow and orchard with natural play environment. There are farm animals that children can pet and feed under supervision. We believe in giving children the freedom to discover and grow in a familiar setting. Our homely character ensures each child receives the personal attention they deserve. We are open Monday to Thursday from 07:30 to 18:30 and offer flexible care options by arrangement.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) Buba Mara in Westbroek provides care for a maximum of 16 children aged 0-4 years in one group. The annual Municipal Health Service (GGD) inspection of 7 July 2025 concludes that the location meets requirements in all domains, following remediation of several violations. The pedagogical climate is experienced as positive: children are greeted individually, there is an effective mentorship system, and staff respond sensitively to conflicts. All childcare professionals are qualified, staffing levels are sufficient, and a pedagogical coach is present. After a recovery offer, violations regarding the safety and health policy (missing description of back-up supervision, four-eyes principle, policy transparency, hand hygiene instructions) and the duty to report, consult, and file official reports were remedied. The website also lacked a link to the most recent inspection report; this has since been added. There is no parent committee, but parents are involved in alternative ways. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement measures.
