About this care
Voorschool Het Bovenland is located in Amsterdam Nieuw-West, De Aker, and is specially designed for curious toddlers aged 2 to 4. In a safe and familiar environment, children are given every opportunity to develop through play alongside their peers.
We use the Early Childhood Education (VVE) program Startblokken, tailored to each child’s age and interests. This program aligns closely with the teaching methods used in the first two years of primary school. Through themed activities and professional guidance, we prepare children for a smooth transition to elementary education.
Our program includes a wide range of stimulating activities focused on play, discovery, and movement. Emphasis is placed on language development, numeracy, reading aloud, drawing, listening, singing, and physical activity – both indoors and outdoors. This ensures your child starts school with confidence and a solid foundation.
Our fees include diapers, meals, healthy snacks, and drinks. If your child follows a special diet, we kindly ask you to provide the necessary food. Communication with parents takes place through our Parent App, where we share weekly photos and updates of your child’s experiences.Read more

Summary
VVE Het Bovenland is an early childhood education location (daycare center/kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam with 16 childcare places, located within primary school Het Bovenland. The annual inspection of 27 May 2026 shows that the location meets all inspected quality requirements. The location provides early childhood education through the Startblokken program to two core groups (A and C) for children aged 2 to 4 years. The team consists of 3 permanent staff members, including 1 HBO graduate. The pedagogical practice is assessed positively: staff members create rich play situations, stimulate language development, and provide emotional safety through a stable team. One improvement point was identified: the training plan lacks a concrete description of the frequency and timing of refresher and additional training. This was discussed with the location manager and must be addressed organization-wide. No violations were found and no recovery offer was made.
