Wow! What an amazing team! Our little guy was so impatient he decided to come a few days before the due date, so... impatient that mama and papa didn’t even have time to go to the hospital. Saar was the first to arrive and was the best support we could’ve asked for. When we found out we were to late to go to the hospital Marja joined our team-baby-time and we felt even more confident. We cannot thank the whole bolwerk team enough for their amazing care, confidence and guidance.read more

Thank you for all your wonderful support before, during and after birth. Having you by our side made the whole... experience of Zoe really positive and we are so smooth we had you as our midwives. A short paragraph is not enough to describe all the reasons.. we really didn't know what to expect with Zoe being our first baby and expats in Haarlem, it was great having you by our side with so much knowledge, to help us make informed decisions and understand the Dutch way of things. We are so grateful to have benefited from your positivity, knowledge and confidence. Thanks for looking after us.read more

Bolwerk Midwives Practice was simply the best from start to end. What fantastic care our family was provided with. The... staff handled our expat family with ease, english was no problem at the appointments and information was always provided in english where possible. The staff understood our needs and the care was second to none. We were looked after by all the team and loved each and every midwife. I highly recommend the fantastic team at Bolwerk to take care of all your maternity needs, thank you Bolwerk.read more
