About this care

AI
Kindcentrum Balade is a trusted out-of-school care (BSO) centre located in the heart of Waalwijk, within the multifunctional BaLaDe building at Balade 6. As part of Mikz Kinderopvang, we provide care for children aged 4 to 13 years, including before, between and after school care, study days and holiday care. Our location has a capacity of up to 33 children and has been registered in the National Childcare Register since 1 January 2010. We work with a warm and professional team of pedagogical staff who are closely connected to both children and parents. We believe it is important that every child feels safe and seen. That’s why we offer activities that match the children’s interests, without making participation mandatory. After all, it’s their free time. Older children are free to choose what they want to do. Our centre features a large outdoor area, a modern gym, a cosy auditorium and a nearby football field. We aim to go outside every day. For sporty children, there is plenty of space to play football or enjoy other outdoor games. We collaborate with Basisschool Balade, Prisma and Kentalis to ensure a smooth transition from school to after-school care. Feel free to visit us for a tour. We’d love to show you around and tell you more about our approach. For more information or to schedule a visit, please email balade@mikz.nl.

Summary

GGD inspection on 20-10-2025 at Kindcentrum Balade (BSO) in Waalwijk. The after-school care (BSO) accommodates 33 children (ages 4-13) in two base groups. The pedagogical climate and personnel policy meet the requirements. There were two violations: not all children had been assigned a mentor, and staff wore hand and wrist jewellery during high-risk activities. Both violations have since been resolved through a recovery offer. The premises comfortably exceed the standards for indoor and outdoor play space. The advice to the municipality is to take no enforcement action.
