About this care
Peutergroep De Bijenkorf is located within primary school De Bijenkorf at Aalberseplein 6 in Gouda. We provide toddler care for children aged 2 to 4 years during school weeks. Play-based learning is central: we let children explore and experience as much as possible. Their development is closely monitored and stimulated.
We use the Uk & Puk method, an educational programme that focuses on language development, social-emotional development, sensory and motor development, and early numeracy skills. Children learn to cooperate and play together, take part in circle activities, and there is plenty of attention to fine and gross motor skills. All activities fit within the current theme, which is aligned as much as possible with the kindergarten classes of the primary school. We regularly organise fun outings or activities, such as library visits or a clown performance, often together with the kindergarteners. Structure is important: fixed meal times and a morning circle in which the theme is discussed help children get used to the school routine.
Our location works according to the Pedagogisch Hart of Kind & Co Ludens. This means we do everything we can to make children feel safe and secure, so that they can grow and discover. We offer a rich, inspiring environment and believe cooperation is important: our childcare is a mini-society in which we care for each other.Read more

Summary
Peutergroep De Bijenkorf is a daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) with 16 places for children aged 2-4, located in primary school De Bijenkorf in Gouda. During the annual inspection on 20 January 2026, the location was found to largely comply with laws and regulations. The pedagogical climate, staff and groups, and safety and health policy were assessed positively. Specific strengths were visible in pedagogical practice, such as the sensitive manner in which staff interacted with children and parents during drop-off, and the independence children developed during daily routines. However, a violation was identified regarding the 'Duty to report, consult, and file': not all staff were sufficiently aware of their reporting duty in cases of suspected sexual offences or abuse. The holder made use of the recovery offer and resolved the shortcoming during the inspection through additional team consultation and structural attention to this topic. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises the municipality of Gouda to enforce.
