Summary

The Municipal Health Service (GGD) conducted an unannounced annual inspection on 14 July 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Kindcentrum Juliana van Stolberg in Waalwijk, part of Stichting Mikz kinderopvang. The location provides care for a maximum of 60 children aged 4 to 8 years in three base groups.

The pedagogical vision in which children have autonomy over their play is well implemented in practice. The staff are well trained, child-to-staff ratios are adhered to, and there is a stable care environment with fixed base groups and mentorship. The indoor and outdoor spaces comfortably exceed the requirements. No areas for improvement or violations were identified.
