About this care
Welcome to BijdeHandjes Daycare at Waterdaal 3 in Amersfoort’s Leusderkwartier. We are a Christian organisation providing care for children aged 0 to 4 years. Our homely building is situated close to a beautiful wooded area, giving your child daily access to fresh air and natural stimuli.
Everything we do revolves around a loving, safe and trusted environment in which your child can develop to the full. Inspired by God’s love, we treat every child as unique. Our pedagogical staff offer genuine attention and care, stimulating development through play. We follow an early-years education programme that matches young children’s world of experience and prepares them for primary school.
We take care of the practical details for you: nappies, baby food, fruit, hot meals and drinks are all included in the hourly rate. We also accommodate allergies and special dietary needs. You can opt for half-day or full-day care and flexible contracts that fit around your work and family life.
Our spacious garden provides secure outdoor play, and we regularly explore the nearby nature. The youngest children have separate sleeping rooms with cots and beds, allowing each child to rest when needed. We believe parents should feel complete confidence; therefore we schedule a personal intake interview and a careful settling-in period in advance.
In short, at BijdeHandjes Daycare on Waterdaal 3 your child will experience a warm second home where play, development and being loved are central.Read more
GGD Inspection
Violations
Inspection date: April 8, 2026
Strengths
- Pedagogical policy plan and work plan are in order and are followed in practice
- Staff are correctly registered in the Childcare Personnel Register with valid Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG)
- Staff-to-child ratio is sufficient (2 staff members for 11 children)
- Stability of care is ensured through permanent staff members and mentorship
- Sufficient and safe outdoor play space available (115 m²)
Violations
- The indoor space does not provide sufficient square meters for 16 childcare places: 54.79 m² available versus 56 m² required (shortfall of 1.21 m²)
Summary
The annual inspection of 8 April 2026 at daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) BijdeHandjes - Waterdaal in Amersfoort shows a mixed picture. The location meets requirements for pedagogical climate and staff and groups, but not for accommodation. The indoor space of 54.79 m² is formally too small for the registered 16 childcare places (required: 56 m²). The operator was aware of this and applies a maximum of 15 children in practice. Because the location will close permanently on 17 July 2026 and structurally fewer children are cared for, no recovery offer (herstelaanbod) was made. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement in accordance with policy, with mitigating circumstances.
Reviews
