About this care
Discover our spacious daycare center (kinderdagverblijf/KDV) in Amsterdam-West with four large, bright group rooms specially designed for the different ages of the children. Basker (formerly BLOS) childcare is the place where budding friendships begin! The atmosphere in our groups is warm and familiar. With us, your child goes on adventures within the safe boundaries of our care. With challenging and educational toys and the Uk & Puk method, we guide your child through the transition to primary school and after-school care (BSO). You'll often find us outside in our garden or enjoying a stroll through our pleasant neighbourhood. We especially love making trips to the riding school, the bike repair shop, the theatre, or the NEMO Science Museum.Read more
