In short


This project maps the Dutch-speaking childcare and leisure offer in Brussels and explores families’ real needs. We combine data analysis with qualitative insights to enable inclusive, future-oriented policy.

Need and relevance


Brussels needs a clear picture of current provision and families’ expectations. Policy makers require reliable data and insights to make decisions that work for children and parents. This project provides that foundation.

From approach to impact

  • Phased, data-driven analysis of supply, capacity and use
  • Geographic visualisations and monitoring tools for VGC
  • Participatory validation through BOA café and surveys
  • Digital questionnaire, meetings and focus groups with parents
  • Child activity kits and visual customer journeys for children’s views
  • Policy recommendations that are concrete, inclusive and actionable
