About this care

AI
Welcome to Knutselkookclub Haarlem Stuyvesantstraat! We are a small-scale after-school care facility where children aged 4 to 12 prepare their own dinner after school. Our unique concept combines cooking with creative activities, where children learn by looking, feeling, tasting and smelling. Each afternoon starts with a joint cooking session where children prepare a complete meal under supervision. They discover new flavors, learn about healthy eating and develop practical skills. After cooking, we enjoy the homemade meal together. For parents, this means they can pick up their children at 6:00 PM with full bellies and smiles. In addition to cooking, we also offer creative workshops such as woodworking, crafting and thematic projects. Our location at Stuyvesantstraat 76 in Haarlem accommodates up to 20 children, allowing us to provide lots of personal attention. We pick up children from school and ensure a safe transfer from school to our location. Knutselkookclub was founded by Emily van Rijn, who translated her experience from creative projects during her travels through Asia and Africa into this unique form of after-school care. Our goal is to let children discover different products and materials with joy, so they can develop their taste and creativity.

  • Pedagogical policy is implemented as described
  • Staff provide emotional security and stimulate development
  • Safety and health policy is up to date and discussed
  • Qualified first aid provider always present
  • Domestic violence reporting protocol is known to staff

Shortcomings

  • Sharpen description of cross-location childcare
  • Provide refrigerator thermometer
  • Make playground equipment inspection reports available

Summary

Knutselkookclub Stuyvesantstraat is a small-scale after-school care (BSO) in Haarlem-Noord for up to 20 children aged 4-13. The location offers care on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday with cooking and crafts as the central activities. During the unannounced inspection on 31 July 2025, the care was found to meet the core quality requirements regarding pedagogical climate, staffing, and safety. There were three areas for improvement: the absence of a concrete description of cross-location childcare, an incorrectly linked staff member in the personnel register, and the absence of a refrigerator thermometer. These issues have all been resolved following the Municipal Health Service (GGD) recovery offer. The municipality is advised not to take enforcement action due to the successful recovery measures.

Een heel geslaagd en goed verzorgd feestje. De kinderen hebben het erg naar hun zin gehad en werden goed begeleid bij het maken van de hapjes.

We hebben hier al 2 feestjes van mijn dochter gehad. Zeker de moeite waard om een leuke tijd te hebben zonder stress.
