About this care

AI
After-school care Villa Veldmuis is the place in De Meern where children aged 7 to 12 experience the greatest adventures. We are located at Keerderberg 21 in De Meern and are part of gro-up childcare. At our facility, children can safely and challengingly play, discover and grow in a familiar environment after school. We work closely with primary school Het Veldhuis, which is located right next to us, ensuring a smooth transition from school to after-school care. Our location is specially designed for older children: everything here is grand, challenging and adventurous. We offer a wide range of activities tailored to the world of experience of upper-grade children. Think of crafts, sports and games, technology, nature and cultural education, and just having fun together. Our pedagogical staff are ready to guide, stimulate and encourage the children so they can develop optimally. Villa Veldmuis is a homely location with different spaces where children can withdraw or play together. We have a large garden where many outdoor activities take place. We find it important that children feel free to make choices in their activities and are supported by our professional staff in doing so. Parents can come to us for flexible care, tailored to their working hours and their child's school hours. We are open on school days from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM and provide care during study days and school holidays. Villa Veldmuis is a recognized childcare location and meets all legal requirements in terms of safety, hygiene and pedagogical quality. We warmly welcome new families for an introductory meeting and tour.

Violations
Not all quality requirements under the Childcare Act were fully met. The pedagogical practice was sufficient, but two shortcomings were identified in staff registration and safety policy. Both have been resolved following a recovery offer.

Strengths

  • Pedagogical practice meets the required standards
  • A relaxed yet structured atmosphere when children arrive
  • Staff show genuine interest in children and ask open-ended questions
  • Children are encouraged to be independent and self-reliant
  • Adequate response to a safety signal regarding an incident during outdoor play
  • Staff members hold appropriate qualifications and have sufficient language proficiency
  • The pedagogical policy staff member is deployed for the required number of hours

Shortcomings

  • Measures regarding outdoor play were fragmented across multiple documents
  • The PRK linkage process for temporary agency workers was not robust enough

Violations

  • A substitute staff member (temporary agency worker) was working on 19 March 2026 without being linked to the provider in the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK)
  • The safety and health policy regarding outdoor play contained insufficient concrete measures for risks associated with children playing independently outdoors

Summary

The annual inspection conducted on 19 March 2026 at after-school care (BSO) Villa Veldmuis in De Meern presents a mixed picture. The pedagogical practice was assessed as sufficient, with a relaxed atmosphere and engaged staff. However, two significant shortcomings were identified. First, a substitute staff member from a temporary employment agency was not linked to the provider in the Childcare Personnel Register (PRK), which constitutes a violation. Second, measures regarding outdoor play were insufficiently concrete in the safety and health policy. Both shortcomings have been resolved following a recovery offer. The provider has structurally revised the process for PRK linkages. The Municipal Health Service (GGD) advises enforcement.

Fijne opvang waar onze kinderen met plezier naar toe gaan. De leidsters bedenken leuke activiteiten om met de kinderen te doen zoals knutselen of iets...
