About this care
Daycare centre De Bosuil is part of KDV & BSO "De Bosuil" vof and is uniquely situated on the edge of the forest in Amerongen, right in the middle of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. We provide care for up to 16 children per day in one vertical group for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM.
At De Bosuil, the child is always at the centre. We believe in high-quality and responsible childcare where respect for and development of the child are paramount. Our pedagogical vision is aimed at ensuring children feel safe and secure, allowing them to develop at their own pace. We work with familiar faces and maintain a comprehensive pedagogical policy plan that includes both organization-wide and location-specific principles.
Our facility consists of one atmospheric main group room equipped with a baby corner featuring a playpen, various play areas such as a car corner and reading nook, and a changing area with an adjustable changing table. We have an indoor sleeping room with a view of outdoor cribs that are sheltered behind a fence. For the youngest children, a separate sleeping space is always available.
The outdoor play area directly adjoins the group room and is fully enclosed. This natural play environment features a playhouse, hill slide, seesaw, and Little Tikes slide. We believe it's important for children to spend as much time outdoors as possible – even when it rains. Therefore, we provide raincoats and boots for all children. In our vegetable garden, children learn through play about vegetables, fruits, and the natural cycle of life.
Our location is registered in the National Childcare Register under number 110543695 and is supervised by the GGD Utrecht region. We are proud of our recent inspection findings confirming that we meet all quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staff, and facilities.Read more

Summary
Daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) De Bosuil in Amerongen is part of KDV & BSO 'De Bosuil' vof and accommodates a maximum of 16 children aged 0 to 4 years in one vertical group. At the annual inspection on 22 January 2026, the location was compliant in all inspected domains following a recovery offer. Two violations were identified, both of which have been resolved. The pedagogical climate and staff and groups were compliant immediately. A shortcoming was found regarding safety and health: children did not wash their hands before eating fruit, despite the policy requiring this. Regarding parental rights, the link to the most recent inspection report was again missing from the website, a recurrence. The holder has adequately resolved both violations by, among other things, posting reminder signs, adjusting the policy, and placing the link immediately. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises no enforcement action.
