About this care
Welcome to Kinderbolwerk, our daycare center located at Nederstraat 39 in Middelburg. As part of Kinderopvang Walcheren, we provide a homely and safe environment for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our location is just a stone's throw from Veersche Poort shopping center and is playfully and warmly decorated, with children's crafts displayed on the walls throughout.
At Kinderbolwerk, children love to play in the many play areas we've created. In the construction corner, they build towers with DUPLO, and in the reading corner, we often arrange chairs in a circle where our pedagogical staff regularly read books aloud. The raised platform offers an ideal spot to retreat and look at pictures in the many picture books. For babies, we have a large playpen with cushions, a hanging and rocking cradle, and a play mat. Toddlers can let their imagination run wild in the fun play kitchen where they prepare delicious meals for each other using various pots and pans.
Our large natural garden is a true adventure for children. They hide behind bushes, run through the willow tunnel, and bake sand pies in the outdoor kitchen. For babies, there's a special outdoor playpen with artificial grass, allowing them to safely crawl and play outside. In summer, we love to picnic with food and drinks in baskets under the parasol at the picnic table. We dance to music and sing our favorite songs loudly together.
Kinderbolwerk accommodates up to 64 children and is the only location of Kinderopvang Walcheren with this capacity. We're open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. Our team is ready to create an unforgettable time full of play, discovery, and development for your child.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: July 10, 2026
Strengths
- The safety and health policy is clear and followed by staff members
- All employees are correctly registered in the Childcare Personnel Register
- The accommodation is safe, accessible and sufficiently large for the number of children
- The reporting protocol for domestic violence and child abuse is adequate and staff members are familiar with the procedure
- A qualified first aider is always present
Shortcomings
- Adjust the number of childcare places in the National Childcare Register from 64 to 58
- Prevent recurrence of violations regarding pedagogical policy and stability of care
Violations
- Pedagogical policy: staff members did not act in accordance with the pedagogical policy plan by placing children in a second core group on random afternoons, while this was only permitted at the beginning and end of the day
- Stability of care: parental consent forms for care in a second core group did not match actual practice
Summary
Kinderbolwerk in Middelburg, a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) for ages 0-4 with 4 core groups, was inspected by GGD Zeeland on 10 July 2026. The location meets requirements in the areas of safety and health, staff (VVG/personnel register) and accommodation. There were two violations in the areas of pedagogical climate and stability of care, both with a recovery offer. The violations concerned failure to act in accordance with the pedagogical policy plan by placing children in a second core group at random times, and missing or outdated parental consent for this. Following the recovery offer, the pedagogical work plan has been adjusted and new consent forms have been drawn up. This is a recurrence of violations from 2025, but mitigating circumstances were cited due to the recent renovation. The number of childcare places in the LRK (64) is higher than the actual maximum (58) and needs to be adjusted.
