About this care
Welcome to Koetjes & Kalfjes After-School Care in Someren! We provide after-school care for children aged 4 to 12 years in a unique agricultural setting. Our location at Ruiter 1a features its own farm with animals that children can care for daily. We have calves being born, a vegetable garden where we plant and harvest seeds, and a nearby nature area for endless outdoor play.
Our after-school care is located on the upper floor of our childcare center, where we have our own kitchen for preparing healthy treats with products from our vegetable garden. Children not only learn to cook and bake, but also where food comes from. We collaborate with care farm Onder Ons, which means our children also have contact with elderly people and learn to interact with different generations.
Our qualified team guides children in all activities, working in horizontal groups by age category. We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, except on official holidays. Children can come to us for after-school care, holiday care, and study days. We provide a safe environment where children can play, discover and learn while enjoying our farm animals and the nature around us.Read more

Summary
Koetjes & Kalfjes in Someren is an agricultural after-school care (BSO) facility on a dairy farm with 44 childcare places divided across two base groups (ages 4-13). The annual unannounced inspection of 11 August 2026 shows that the location meets all assessed quality requirements in the domains of pedagogical climate, personnel and groups, and safety and health. The pedagogical policy is implemented in accordance with the VAK policy plan and the location-specific work plan. The pedagogical practice scores well on all four basic objectives of Riksen-Walraven. Staff hold the correct diplomas, Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) documents, and language proficiency certificates. The reporting code for domestic violence and child abuse is complete and up-to-date. No violations or areas for improvement were identified in this investigation. However, the inspection history shows that recovery offers were made at previous inspections in 2024 (pedagogical policy) and 2025 (parental rights/complaints), both of which have been successfully completed. The advice to the municipality is: no enforcement action.

We hebben de vriezer weer vol. Heerlijke grilworst, de kippendijen, het gehakt tja wat eigenlijk niet. Fantastisch vlees voor een eerlijke prijs.
