About this care
Welcome to Helden Opvang Brinklaan, our daycare center in the heart of Bussum. We are located in the characteristic old rectory of the Vitus Church at Brinklaan 117. This special location breathes history and offers a warm, homely environment where children aged 0 to 4 can safely develop and feel secure.
At Helden Opvang Brinklaan, we believe that children develop best in an environment where they feel at home. Our close-knit team of pedagogical professionals is ready every day to stimulate your child and provide the right tools for development at their own pace. We work with horizontal groups, where children are grouped by age from 0-4 years.
Our location features a lovely outdoor space where children can play and discover to their heart's content. We believe it's important for children to connect with nature and fresh air every day. The garden offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor play and natural exploration.
Helden Opvang Brinklaan is open 52 weeks a year from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, closed on official public holidays. We offer preschool education (VVE) and are officially registered in the National Childcare Register under number 235090517. With a capacity of 86 childcare places, we can provide care for many families in Bussum and the surrounding area.
We warmly invite you to come take a look at our location. Feel free to request a tour and experience the special atmosphere of our rectory for yourself.Read more

Summary
Helden Opvang Brinklaan in Bussum, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with seven groups, was inspected on 24 March 2026 by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) Gooi & Vechtstreek. The annual inspection shows a predominantly positive picture. The location meets the quality requirements for staffing and groups, safety, and health. At the pedagogical climate, an initial violation was identified: the pedagogical policy plan insufficiently described how children leave their home group (stamgroep) for activities and how their emotional safety is safeguarded in this process. Following a recovery offer, this has been amended and the location now meets this requirement. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively, with attention to emotional safety, independence, social competence, and norm transfer. The GGD advises no enforcement action.
