About this care

AI
Big Ben Kids Wassenaar at Schoolstraat provides after-school care (BSO) for children aged 4 to 12 years. We are an international location where English is the primary language spoken, while our team also speaks Dutch and other languages. Our BSO is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 15:00 to 18:30, and Wednesday from 11:45 to 18:30. During school holidays we are open daily from 7:30 to 18:30. We provide school pick-up from American School of The Hague (ASH) Main Campus, American School Early Childhood Centre (ECC), Nutsschool Wassenaar, Montessori school Wassenaar, Herenwegschool Wassenaar and Kievietsschool. For schools not on our list, we kindly ask parents to arrange pick-up themselves. Our activities focus on relaxation, development and fun. Children can participate in sports in our fully equipped gymnasium, music and art workshops including piano and violin lessons, cooking and baking, and creative arts and crafts. We also regularly organize excursions to museums, parks, the beach and sports facilities in Wassenaar and surrounding areas. During all school holidays we offer a holiday camp for children aged 4 to 12. This camp is all about adventure, creativity and friendship, with activities covering art, science, sports, music and drama. Our childcare practitioners are experienced, qualified and often have an international background. We provide a safe, homely environment where children feel at home and are encouraged to discover and develop their talents.
